Precautions for Removal, Installation, and Storage of Attachments Before starting removal and installation of attachments, decide on the team leader. Do not allow anyone except the authorized workers close to the machine or attachment. Place attachments that have been removed from the machine in a safe place so they do not fall. Put up a fence around the attachments and take other measures to prevent unauthorized persons from entering. HDO1041L Figure 37 Precautions When Working on Machine When carrying out maintenance operations on the machine, keep area around your feet clean and tidy to prevent falls. Always do the following: Do not spill oil or grease. Do not leave tools laying 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 a three-point contact (both feet and one hand or both hands and one foot) to support yourself securely. ARO1380L Figure 38 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 area except the area equipped with nonslip pads. 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 a danger that it may suddenly close and cause injury if there is a gust of wind. OP001759 Safety 1-38
