¤ WARNING: Failure to follow these safety precautions may lead to a serious accident. 8. PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE LOCK INSPECTION COVERS When carrying out maintenance with the inspection cover open, lock the cover securely in position with the lock bar. If maintenance work is carried out with the inspection cover open but not locked, there is danger that it may suddenly close and cause injury if there is a gust of wind. 1-33 PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING ON MACHINE ‡ When carrying out maintenance operations on the machine, keep the area around your feet clean and tidy to prevent you from falling. Always do as follows. • Do not spill oil or grease. • Do not leave tools lying about.
• Watch your step when walking. ‡ Never jump down from the machine. When getting on or off the machine, use the steps and handrails, and maintain three-point contact (both feet and one hand or both hands and one foot) to support yourself securely. ‡ If the job requires it, wear protective clothing. ‡ To prevent injury from slipping or falling, when working on the hood or covers, never use any part except the inspection passage fitted with non-slip pads.
