HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE PRECAUTION
CAUTION
Use extreme care to avoid contacting hot surfaces
(engine exhaust manifold and piping).
Ensure that adequate ventilation of the cooling system
and exhaust gases is maintained at all times.
The following substances are used in the manufacture of
this machine and may be hazardous to health if used
incorrectly.
Avoid ingestion, skin contact and breathing fumes for the
following substances: Antifreeze, Engine Lubricating Oil,
Preservative Grease, Rust Preventative, Diesel Fuel and
Battery Electrolyte.
The following substances may be produced during the
operation of this machine and may be hazardous to
health:
•
Avoid build-up of engine exhaust fumes in confined
spaces.
•
Avoid breathing exhaust fumes.
•
Avoid
breathing
brake
lining
dust
during
maintenance.
•
Always operate in a well ventilated area.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Ensure that the operator reads and understands the
decals and consults the manuals before maintenance or
operation.
Ensure that the Operation & Maintenance manual, and
the manual holder, are not removed permanently from
the machine.
Ensure that maintenance personnel are adequately
trained, competent and have read the Maintenance
Manuals.
Make sure that all protective covers are in place and that
the canopy / doors are closed during operation.
The specification of this machine is such that the
machine is not suitable for use in flammable gas risk
areas. If such an application is required then all local
regulations, codes of practice and site rules must be
observed. To ensure that the machine can operate in a
safe and reliable manner, additional equipment such as
gas detection, exhaust spark arresters, and intake (shut-
off) valves may be required, dependant on local
regulations or the degree of risk involved.
A weekly visual check must be made on all fasteners /
fixing screws securing mechanical parts. In particular,
safety-related parts such as coupling hitch, drawbar
components, road-wheels, and lifting bail should be
checked for total security.
All components which are loose, damaged or
unserviceable, must be rectified without delay.
Electricity
The human body has a low tolerance for electricity and is
a very good conductor. Exposure to electrical shock can
results in an interruption of normal heart activity, thermal
burns, severe muscle contractions and even death.
Never operate the generator without all protections in
place. Controller and busbar doors must be closed at any
time during operation.
If life testing is necessary, it should only be performed by
properly trained people.
While testing on life electrical equipment, rubber sole
shoes and adequate rubber gloves must be worn, and all
local regulations must be respected.
