5. MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS 5.1 PRECAUTIONS BEFORE MAINTENANCE FAILURE REPORT Execution of maintenance not described in our manual may cause unexpected failures. Ask us or our sales service agency for repair.
CLEAN BEFORE INSPECTION OR MAINTENANCE • Before starting an inspection or maintenance, clean the Machine and prevent rubbish from entering the Machine to ensure safety during maintenance. • Attempting inspection or maintenance with the Machine still dirty not only lessens chance of locating faulty part, but may cause rubbish or mud to get into your eyes, or slipping and tripping that results in injury. • Always observe followings when washing the vehicle. • Use antislip shoes to prevent slips and trips caused by it being wet underfoot. • Put on protective equipment when using a high pressure steam car wash. Avoid the accidents that the contact with high pressure water causes the skin laceration or mud or other substance flying into eye. • Do not spray water directly onto the electrical system (sensors, connector (1), receiving box and related). Any water in the electrical system causes faulty operations and may trigger improper operations, thus is dangerous. TIDY UP THE WORKPLACE In the workplace, put away the tools, hammers and other things that obstruct the works, wipe off slippery items such as greases and oils, and exercise tidy up and cleaning for safe work. An untidy workplace may cause stumbles and slips that result in injury caused by tipping.
FOLLOW SUPERVISOR INSTRUCTION DURING TEAMWORK Appoint a person who supervises the work and follow his/her instructions in case of Machine repair or installing/uninstalling a work device. Unexpected accidents due to mis-communication between workers may occur during teamwork.
USE APPROPRIATE TOOLS Do not use damaged or deteriorated tools, or use a tool not intended for the purpose. Use tools suitable for the maintenance work. Entrance of a broken piece of a tool such as a boss with crashed head or a hammer may destroy eyesight.
