Burn
Prevention
SMCS - 7000
-01/06/2015
Do not touch any part of an operating engine. Allow machine systems to cool before any maintenance is performed. Relieve all pressure in the air system, in the oil system, in the lubrication system, in the fuel system, or in the cooling system before any lines, fittings, or related items are disconnected.
Induction System
Sulfuric Acid Burn Hazard may cause serious personal injury or death.
The exhaust gas cooler may contain a small amount of sulfuric acid. The use of fuel with sulfur levels greater than 15 ppm may increase the amount of sulfuric acid formed. The sulfuric acid may spill from the cooler during service of the engine. The sulfuric acid will burn the eyes, skin and clothing on contact. Always wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) that is noted on a material safety data sheet (MSDS) for sulfuric acid. Always follow the directions for first aid that are noted on a material safety data sheet (MSDS) for sulfuric acid.
Coolant
When the engine is at operating temperature, the engine coolant is hot. The coolant is also under pressure. The radiator and all lines to the heaters or to the engine contain hot coolant.
Any contact with hot coolant or with steam can cause severe burns. Allow cooling system components to cool before the cooling system is drained.
Check the coolant level only after the engine has been stopped.
Ensure that the filler cap is cool before removing the filler cap. The filler cap must be cool enough to touch with a bare hand. Remove the filler cap slowly to relieve pressure.
Cooling system conditioner contains alkali. Alkali can cause personal injury. Do not allow alkali to contact the skin, the eyes, or the mouth.
Oils
Hot oil and hot components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil to contact the skin. Also, do not allow hot components to contact the skin.
Remove the hydraulic tank filler cap only after the engine has been stopped. The filler cap must be cool enough to touch with a bare hand. Follow the standard procedure in this manual to remove the hydraulic tank filler cap.
Batteries
The liquid in a battery is an electrolyte. Electrolyte is an acid that can cause personal injury. Do not allow electrolyte to contact the skin or the eyes.
Do not smoke while checking the battery electrolyte levels. Batteries give off flammable fumes which can explode.
Always wear protective glasses when you work with batteries. Wash hands after touching batteries. The use of gloves is recommended.

Crushing Prevention and Cutting Prevention
SMCS - 7000
Updated -26/02/2019
Support the equipment properly before you perform any work or maintenance beneath that equipment. Do not depend on the hydraulic cylinders to hold up the equipment. Equipment can fall if a control is moved, or if a hydraulic line breaks.
Do not work beneath the cab of the machine unless the cab is properly supported.
Unless you are instructed otherwise, never attempt adjustments while the machine is moving or while the engine is running.
Never jump across the starter solenoid terminals in order to start the engine. Unexpected machine movement could result.
Whenever there are equipment control linkages the clearance in the linkage area will change with the movement of the equipment or the machine. Stay clear of areas that may have a sudden change in clearance with machine movement or equipment movement.
Stay clear of all rotating and moving parts.
If it is necessary to remove guards in order to perform maintenance, always install the guards after the maintenance is performed.
Keep objects away from moving fan blades. The fan blade will throw objects or cut objects.
Do not use a kinked wire cable or a frayed wire cable. Wear gloves when you handle wire cable.
When you strike a retainer pin with force, the retainer pin can fly out. The loose retainer pin can injure personnel. Make sure that the area is clear of people when you strike a retainer pin. To avoid injury to your eyes, wear protective glasses when you strike a retainer pin.
Chips or other debris can fly off an object when you strike the object. Make sure that no one can be injured by flying debris before striking any object. Thu Jan 4 20:07:55 UTC+0530 2024
