Prevention of Crushing and Cutting
You should always have at least two people working together if
the engine must be run during service. One person needs to
remain in the operator's seat, ready to work the controls or stop
the machine and shut off the engine.
Unless you are instructed otherwise, never attempt adjustments
wh
ile the machine is moving or while the engine is running.
Stay clear of all rotating parts and moving parts.
Keep objects away from moving fan blades. The fan blades will
th
row objects and the fan blades can cut objects.
Do not use a wire rope cable that is kinked or flayed. Wear
gloves
when you handle a wire rope cable.
When you strike a retainer pin, the retainer pin might fly out. The
loose
retainer pin can injure personnel. Make sure that 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.
Track Tension Adjustments Require
Caution
Never turn out the track tension grease valve. To release
pressure from the crawler frame track tension assembly, you
should NEVER attempt to disassemble the track adjuster or
attempt to remove grease fitting or valve assembly.
Keep your face and body away from the valve. Refer to the track
adjus
tment procedure in the Operator and Maintenance Manual
or Shop Manual.
Supports and Blocking for Work
Equipment
Do not allow weight or equipment loads to remain suspended.
Lower everything to the ground before leaving the operator's
seat
.
Do not use hollow, cracked or unsteady wobbling supports.
Do not work under any equipment supp
orted only by a lifting
jack.
