Safety - Section 20 9/11 OM2041 Page 20-12 WHILE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE Working Under The Truck NOTE: Only authorized personnel should service and repair the truck. Always lower all movable work equipment to the ground or to their lowest position before performing service or repairs under the truck. Keep The Truck Clean Always block the tires of the truck securely. Spilled oil, grease, scattered tools, etc., can cause you to slip or trip. Always keep your truck clean and tidy. Never work under the truck if the truck is poorly supported. If water gets into the electrical system, there is danger that the truck may move unexpectedly and/or damage to components may occur.
Do not use water or steam to clean any sensors, connectors or the inside of the operator's compartment. Use extreme care when washing the electrical control cabinet. Do not allow water to enter the control cabinet around the doors or vents. Do not allow any water to enter the cooling air inlet duct above the electrical control cabinet. If water enters the control cabinet through any opening or crevice, major damage to the electrical components is possible. Rotating Fan And Belts Stay away from all 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.
Never spray water into the rear wheel electric motor covers. Damage to the wheel motor armatures may occur. Do not spray water into the retarding grids. Excess water in the retarding grids can cause a ground fault, which will prevent propulsion. Waste Materials Never dump oil into a sewer system, river, etc. Always put oil drained from your truck in appropriate containers. Never drain oil directly onto the ground. Attachments Obey appropriate laws and regulations when disposing of harmful objects such as oil, fuel, coolant, solvent, filters and batteries. Place attachments that have been removed from the truck in a safe place and manner to prevent them from falling.
The machine may be equipped with optional High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting lamps which contain mercury. These lamps must be reused, recycled or properly disposed of in accordance with applicable local, state and federal laws.
