Burn Prevention
Never jump across the starter solenoid terminals in
order to start the engine. Unexpected machine
movement could result.
Whenever there are equipment control linkages the
clearance in
the link
age area will change with the
movement of the equipment or the machine. Stay
clear of areas that may have a sudden change in
clearance with machine movement or equipment
movement.
Stay clear of all rotating and moving parts.
If it is necessary to remove guards in order to
pe
rf
orm maintenance, always install the guards after
the maintenance is performed.
Keep objects away from moving fan blades. The fan
blade will thr
ow
objects or cut objects.
Do not use a kinked wire cable or a frayed wire
cabl
e. Wear gloves when you handle wire cable.
When you strike a retainer pin with force, the retainer
pin can
fly out. The loose retainer pin can injure
personnel. Make sure that the area is clear of people
when you strike a retainer pin. To avoid injury to your
eyes, wear protective glasses when you strike a
retainer pin.
Chips or other debris can fly off an object when you
st
rike the ob
ject. Make sure that no one can be
injured by flying debris before striking any object.
Burn Prevention
Do not touch any part of an operating engine. Allow
machine systems to cool before any maintenance is
performed. Relieve all pressure in the air system, in
the oil system, in the lubrication system, in the fuel
system, or in the cooling system before any lines,
fittings, or related items are disconnected.
Exhaust Gas Recirculation Cooler
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler may
contain a small amount of sulfuric acid. The use of
fuel with sulfur levels greater than 15 ppm may
increase the amount of sulfuric acid that is formed.
The sulfuric acid may spill from the EGR cooler
during service of the engine. The sulfuric acid will
burn the eyes, skin, and clothing on contact. Always
wear eye shields, rubber gloves, and protective
clothing when you may come in contact with fluids
that may spill from the EGR cooler. If fluid contacts
the eyes, immediately flush with water and seek
medical help.
Coolant
When the engine is at operating temperature, the
engine coolant is hot. The coolant is also under
pressure. The radiator and all lines to the heaters or
to the engine contain hot coolant.
Any contact with hot coolant or with steam can
cause sever
e bur
ns. Allow cooling system
components to cool before the cooling system is
drained.
Check the coolant level only after the engine has
be
en stoppe
d.
Ensure that the filler cap is cool before removing the
filler cap. The filler cap must be cool enough to
touch with a bar
e hand. Remove the filler cap slowly
in order to relieve pressure.
Cooling system conditioner co
ntain
s alkali. Alkali
can cause personal injury. Do not allow alkali to
contact the skin, the eyes, or the mouth.
Oils
Hot oil and hot components can cause personal
injury. Do not allow hot oil to contact the skin. Also,
do not allow hot components to contact the skin.
Remove the hydraulic tank filler cap
only after the
engine has been s
topped. The filler cap must be
cool enough to touch with a bare hand. Follow the
standard procedure in this manual in order to
remove the hydraulic tank filler cap.
Batteries
Electrolyte is an acid. Electrolyte can cause personal
injury. Do not allow electrolyte to contact the skin or
the eyes. Always wear protective glasses for
servicing batteries. Wash hands after touching the
batteries and connectors. Use of gloves is
recommended.
