Safety precautions

The following safety precautions are not intended to be exhaustive. Safe work practices should be applied to heavy machinery operation and servicing. ALWAYS give the engine an opportunity to cool down before performing lubrication system servicing. ALWAYS wear personal protective equipment including safety glasses, gloves and suitable clothing, and dust mask particularly when accessing the exhaust system. ALWAYS be aware of, and isolate, other forms of energy and pinch points (fan, belts, pulleys) when accessing the engine compartment including pneumatic stored pressure, engine coolant pressure and other heat sources such as engine block and exhaust system components. ALWAYS replace all guards and covers before returning the machine to service.

WARNING Wear suitable eye protection, gloves and dust mask when performing work on the exhaust systems as particulates may be harmful to the respiratory system. Immediately wash any particulate matter from skin with warm, soapy water.
