8 SEBU8726-03 Safety Section General Hazard Information Pressurized Air and Water Pressurized air and/or water can cause debris and/or hot water to be blown out and could result in personal injury. When pressurized air and/or pressurized water is used for cleaning, wear protective clothing, protective shoes, and eye protection. Eye protection includes goggles or a protective face shield. The maximum air pressure for cleaning purposes must be below 205 kPa (30 psi). The maximum water pressure for cleaning purposes must be below 275 kPa (40 psi). Fluid Penetration Illustration 5 g00687600 Pressure can be trapped in the hydraulic circuit long after the engine has been stopped.
The pressure can cause hydraulic fluid or items such as pipe plugs to escape rapidly if the pressure is not relieved correctly. Always use a board or cardboard when you check for a leak. Leaking fluid that is under pressure can penetrate body tissue. Fluid penetration can cause serious injury and possible death. A pin hole leak can cause severe injury. If fluid is injected into your skin, you must get treatment immediately. Seek treatment from a doctor that is familiar with this type of injury. Do not remove any hydraulic components or parts until pressure has been relieved or personal injury may occur.
Do not disassemble any hydraulic components or parts until pressure has been relieved or personal injury may occur. Refer to the OEM information for any procedures that are required to relieve the hydraulic pressure. Containing Fluid Spillage NOTICE Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are con- tained during performance of inspection, mainte- nance, testing, adjusting, and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable contain- ers before opening any compartment or disassem- bling any component containing fluids. Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.
Static Electricity Hazard when Fueling with Ultra-low Sulfur Diesel Fuel The removal of sulfur and other compounds in ultra- low sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD fuel) decreases the conductivity of ULSD and increases the ability of ULSD to store static charge. Refineries may have treated the fuel with a static dissipating additive. Many factors can reduce the effectiveness of the additive over time. Static charges can build up in ULSD fuel while the fuel is flowing through fuel delivery systems. Static electricity discharge when combustible vapors are present could result in a fire or explosion.
Ensure that the entire system used to refuel your machine (fuel supply tank, transfer pump, transfer hose, nozzle, and others) is properly grounded and bonded. Consult with your fuel or fuel system supplier to ensure that the delivery system complies with fueling standards for proper grounding and bonding.
