Before performing any inspection or
maintenance procedures to the machine, fill out
and post to the operator's controls a "DO NOT
OPERATE" tag to warn persons not to start the
machine. Also inform the supervisor and all
operators that the machine is under inspection
or maintenance and they will be informed
when the machine is ready for normal operation.
Always release pressure from hydraulic
reservoir, engine coolant, fuel system and all
systems containing pressure before removing
any caps or components. Be cautious of hot
fluids and gasses from systems on machines
that have just been stopped. Allow sufficient
time for systems to cool before performing any
inspection or maintenance procedures.
Immediately after the machine is operated, the
temperature and pressure of the engine coolant,
engine oil and hydraulic oil are very high. Burns
may result if caps are removed, or oil, water, or
filters are changed under these conditions.
Wait until the temperature goes down, before
attempting to check fluids or change filters.
