Safety - Section 20 08/11 OM2036 Page 20-12 Precautions With The Battery When repairing the electrical system, or when arc welding, remove the negative (-) terminal of the battery to stop the flow of current. Waste Materials DO NOT dump oil or other harmful fluids into a sewer system, rivers, etc. Obey appropriate laws and regulations when disposing of harmful objects, such as oil, fuel, coolant, solvent, filters, batteries, and others. Handling High-Pressure Hoses Drain fluids from your machine into the appropriate containers. DO NOT drain fluids directly onto the ground. DO NOT bend or hit high-pressure hoses. DO NOT use bent or cracked piping, tubes, or hoses. They may burst during use.
This machine may be equipped with optional High Intensity Discharge lighting lamps which contain mercury. These lamps must be reused, recycled or properly disposed of in accordance with applicable local, stae and federal laws. Repair any loose or broken hoses. Fuel and/or oil leaks may result in a fire. Precautions With High-Pressure Oil Hydraulic circuits may be pressurized. Ensure that all pressure is released before loosening hydraulic fittings or hoses. DO NOT service a system before completely releasing the internal pressure.
Use of Tie-Off Anchor During Maintenance and Repair While working at heights during assembly, mainte- nance or repair of the haul truck, workers should wear an appropri- ate fall protection har- ness and attach it to a tie-off anchor or tie-off point. Small, high-pressure pinhole leaks are extremely dangerous. The jet of high-pressure oil can pierce the skin and eyes. Wear safety glasses and thick gloves. Use a piece of cardboard or a sheet of wood to check for oil leakage. Komatsu anchor (58B-98-75190) is available for use with fall protection harnesses. Carefully read and understand the harness maker’s instructions before using any fall protection harness.
Maintenance Near High Temperatures And High Pressures The load carrying capacity of anchor (58B-97-75190) is 2 270 kg (5,000 lbs). Immediately after stopping, the engine coolant and operating oils are at high temperature and may be pressurized. In these conditions, opening the system or replacing the filters, may result in burns or other injury. Wait for the temperature to cool and the pressure to subside before servicing. NOTE: The anchor must not be used for lifting. Rotating Fan And Belts Keep a safe distance from rotating parts, such as the radiator fan and fan belts. Serious bodily injury may result from direct or indirect contact with rotating parts and flying objects.
