SAFETY
AND WARNINGS SECTION
13
Penetration of fluids
The pressure values in the hydraulic circuit may
remain high for a long time even after the vehicle is
switched off. If not discharged properly, the pressure
can cause violent ejection of oil and objects.
Do not disconnect or dismantle any of the hydraulic
components if the pressure has not been discharged
correctly, as this can lead to serious accidents.
Refer to the maintenance section of this Manual for
the methods for discharging the hydraulic pressure
correctly.
Limiting the ejection of liquids
It is necessary to deal with the leakage of liquids during
the operations carried out on the vehicle. Provide
suitable containers for collecting the liquids before
acting on any component of the vehicle containing
fluids.
Dispose of the liquids used in compliance with the
regulatory standards in force in the country in which
the vehicle will be used.
Information regarding asbestos
Magni T.H. products and spare parts are asbestos-free.
Using non genuine spare parts can lead to risk of
handling products containing asbestos.
Avoid inhaling dusts which may be produced when
handling components containing asbestos fibres.
Inhaling these dusts can be harmful for health.
The non original components which may contain
asbestos are the friction elements of the brakes and
clutches, linings and types of gaskets. The asbestos used
in these components is generally immersed in resin or
sealed in another manner. Normal handling is not
hazardous as long as suspended dusts are not produced.
If dusts containing asbestos are present, the
following precautions must be taken:
-
Do not use compressed air for cleaning;
-
Avoid brushing materials containing asbestos;
-
Avoid grinding materials containing asbestos;
-
Use wet cleaning methods for parts containing
asbestos;
-
Equip the work area with appropriate air extractors;
-
If there are no other methods for controlling the
dusts, wear a suitable respiratory mask;
-
Avoid areas where asbestos particles may be present
in the air.
Prevention of cuts and crushing
Support the equipment adequately before carrying
out any kind of work on it. Do not rely on hydraulic
jacks for supporting the equipment: these may fall if a
tube breaks or in case of involuntary activation.
Do not try to make any adjustment while the vehicle is
in motion or with the engine switched on, unless
otherwise specified.
Avoid tampering with the electrical system of the
vehicle to try starting the engine. This may cause
involuntary movements of the equipment.
Keep at a safe distance while operating the equipment
using the control levers. Increase the safety distance if
there is a possibility of the moving parts making rapid
and sudden movements.
If it is necessary to remove the safety devices fitted on
the vehicle to carry out maintenance or repairs, always
refit these at the end of operations.
Keep limbs away from the moving fan blades. The fast
moving blades are comparable to sharp blades, and
can cause serious tears. Keep small objects away from
the moving fan blades. The blades may throw off these
objects at high speed, making it dangerous for the
safety of persons.
Do not use frayed or bent steel cables. Always wear
protective gloves while handling steel cables.
If a pin is tapped with great force, it may come out of
its seat suddenly. A pin thrown off with force can cause
serious injuries to persons in the vicinity. If tapping on
a pin, make sure there is no one in the surrounding
area.
