Section A. Safety precautions Belarus- 510/512 —Operating manual
13
•
Do not clean up, adjust or service
the equipment driven from the PTO with
the diesel engine running.
Safety requirements for maintenance
service
•
Never refuel the tractor with the
diesel engine running.
•
Do not smoke when refueling the
tractor.
•
Do not fill the fuel tanks complete-
ly. Leave a space for fuel expansion.
•
Never add gasoline or blends to
diesel fuel. Such combination may result
in higher hazard of flame or explosion.
•
Make proper use of summer and
winter grades of fuel. To reduce the
amount of night condensate, refill the
fuel tank at the end of each working day.
•
Refill the tractor only with oils and
greases recommended by the manufac-
turer. Use of other lubricants is
strictly
prohibited!
•
All operations related to cleaning
the engine and the tractor, preparation to
work, maintenance, etc. must be per-
formed with the engine off and the tractor
brake engaged.
•
The cooling system operates un-
der pressure maintained by a valve in-
stalled on the filler cap.
It is dangerous
to remove the cap on a hot engine.
To
avoid burns of face and hands, take spe-
cial care when opening the radiator cap
on a hot engine, put a thick cloth onto
the cap first and put on a glove.
•
To avoid burns, be careful when
draining the coolant from the cooling sys-
tem, hot oil from the diesel engine, hy-
draulic system and transmission.
•
Exercise caution while servicing
storage batteries as electrolyte causes
burns in case of skin contact.
•
To avoid risk of explosion, do not
allow a source of open fire near the fuel
system of the engine and batteries.
•
Keep your tractor and its equip-
ment, especially the brakes and steering
equipment, in good condition to ensure
your safety and that of the surrounding
people.
•
Do not modify the tractor or any of
its constituent parts without approval
from you dealer and manufacturer.
Safety requirements for operation and
maintenance of electrical equipment
•
To avoid damages to semiconduc-
tor devices and resistors, observe the
following precautions:
−
do not disconnect the storage bat-
tery terminals when the diesel engine is
running. This will result in peak voltage
in the charging circuit and unavoidable
damage of diodes and transistors.
−
do not disconnect the electrical
wires until the diesel engine stops and all
electrical switches are switched off;
−
do not cause a short circuit due to
faulty connection wires. A short circuit or
wrong polarity will cause damage to the
diodes and transistors;
−
do not connect the storage battery
to the electrical system until terminals
and voltage are checked for the polarity;
−
do not check availability of electric
current by sparking as it will result in an
immediate breakdown of transistors.
Hygiene requirements:
•
If duration of continuous work on
the tractor exceeds 2.5 hours per a work-
ing shift, use personal protection equip-
ment to muffle noise as per State Stand-
ard
ГОСТ
12,4.051-87 (such as ear pro-
tectors, ear plugs)
Fire safety requirements
•
The tractor must have firefighting
tools such as a shovel and a fire extin-
guisher. Working on the tractor without
fire-fighting equipment is prohibited.
•
The tractor park sites, fuel and
lubricant storage places must have a
surrounding plowed strip with a width of
3 m min. and be provided with fire-
fighting means.
•
Avoid contamination of the mani-
fold and silencer with dust, fuel, straw,
etc.
