PRECAUTIONS DURING WORK
11.When removing the oil filler cap, drain plug or
hydraulic pressure measuring plugs, loosen
them slowly to prevent the oil from spurting out.
Before disconnecting or removing components
of the oil, water or air circuits, first remove the
pressure completely from the circuit.
12.The water and oil in the circuits are hot when the
engine is stopped, so be careful not to get
burned.
Wait for the oil and water to cool before carry-
ing out any work on the oil or water circuits.
13.Before starting work, remove the leads from the
battery. Always remove the lead from the nega-
tive (–) terminal first.
14.When raising heavy components, use a hoist or
crane.
Check that the wire rope, chains and hooks are
free from damage.
Always use lifting equipment which has ample
capacity.
Install the lifting equipment at the correct places.
Use a hoist or crane and operate slowly to pre-
vent the component from hitting any other part.
Do not work with any part still raised by the hoist
or crane.
15.When removing covers which are under internal
pressure or under pressure from a spring,
always leave two bolts in position on opposite
sides. Slowly release the pressure, then slowly
loosen the bolts to remove.
16.When removing components, be careful not to
break or damage the wiring. Damaged wiring
may cause electrical fires.
17.When removing piping, stop the fuel or oil from
spilling out. If any fuel or oil drips onto the floor,
wipe it up immediately. Fuel or oil on the floor
can cause you to slip, or can even start fires.
18.As a general rule, do not use gasoline to wash
parts. In particular, use only the minimum of
gasoline when washing electrical parts.
19.Be sure to assemble all parts again in their origi-
nal places.
Replace any damaged parts with new parts.
•
When installing hoses and wires, be sure
that they will not be damaged by contact
with other parts when the machine is being
operated.
20.When installing high pressure hoses, make sure
that they are not twisted. Damaged tubes are
dangerous, so be extremely careful when install-
ing tubes for high pressure circuits. Also, check
that connecting parts are correctly installed.
21.When assembling or installing parts, always use
the specified tightening torques. When installing
protective parts such as guards, or parts which
vibrate violently or rotate at high speed, be par-
ticularly careful to check that they are installed
correctly.
22.When aligning two holes, never insert your fin-
gers or hand. Be careful not to get your fingers
caught in a hole.
23.When measuring hydraulic pressure, check that
the measuring tool is correctly assembled before
taking any measurements.
24.Take care when removing or installing the tracks
of track-type machines.
When removing the track, the track separates
suddenly, so never let anyone stand at either
end of the track.
