Attachments Appoint a leader before starting removal or installation operations for attachments. Place attachments that have been removed from the machine in a stable condition so that they do not fall. Take steps to prevent unauthorized persons from entering the storage area. Work Under the Machine Make sure the hoists or jacks you use are in good repair and strong enough to handle the weight of the component. Never use jacks at places where the machine is damaged, bent, or twisted. Never use frayed, twisted or pinched wire rope. Never use bent or distorted hooks.
It is extremely dangerous to work under the machine if the track shoes are lifted off the ground and the machine is supported only with the work equipment. If any of the control levers are touched by accident, or there is damage occurring to the hydraulic piping, the work equipment or the machine will suddenly drop. This is extremely dangerous. Never work under the work equipment or the machine. If it is necessary to raise the work equipment or the machine and then go under it to carry out inspection or maintenance, support the work equipment and machine securely with blocks and stands strong enough to support the weight of the work equipment and machine.
If the work equipment and machine are not supported, there is a hazard that they may come down and that this may lead to serious personal injury or death. Never use concrete blocks for supports. They can collapse under even light loads. Noise When carrying out maintenance of the engine and you are exposed to noise for long periods of time, wear ear covers or ear plugs while working. If the noise from the machine is too loud, it may cause temporary or permanent hearing problems. When using Hammer When using a hammer, pins may fly out or metal particles may be scattered. This may lead to serious injury. Always do as follows.
If hard metal parts such as pins, bucket teeth, cutting edges, or bearings are hit with a hammer, there is a hazard that pieces might be scattered and cause injury. Always wear safety goggles and gloves. When hitting pins or bucket teeth, there is a hazard that broken pieces might be sent flying and injure people in the surrounding area. Always check that there is no one in the surrounding area. There is a hazard that the pin hit with strong force may fly out and injure people in the surrounding area. 1-38 PC200LC-8
