Use proper storage and handling for flammable solvents, oils, fuels and materials as indicated by MSDS/PSDS literature.
Smoking, welding, poor electrical connections, hot equipment, open flames and static discharge are external ignition sources that represent a serious safety hazard.
For information about fire prevention, refer to FIRE PREVENTION on page 1.33.
EXHAUST FUMES AND GASES
WARNING
Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
WARNING
DO NOT burn discarded items except in an approved incineration process. Burning such items creates hazardous fumes. Tigercat 1165 Harvester
LIQUID NITROGEN
WARNING
Only workers trained in handling liquid nitrogen may do so. See the MSDS or PSDS for proper handling and storage of liquid nitrogen. Do not attempt to use liquid nitrogen until you have received proper training.
Liquid nitrogen is used to shrink-fit bearing races, bushings, pins, shafts etc. It is extremely dangerous if not handled properly. It can cause severe frostbite and cold burns. Nitrogen gas can act as an asphyxiate. Super cooled gas can severely damage the respiratory tract.
COMPRESSED AIR
Compressed air is a concentrated, high pressure, high speed stream of air that can seriously injure or kill. Air pressures of 5–10 psi can cause serious injury. Most pneumatic tools operate at 80–120 psi. Follow acceptable Health and Safety protocols for using compressed air. • DO NOT clean clothing or skin using compressed air. • Verify the air stream is not aimed at a fellow worker or positioned in a way to cause debris to strike someone or other equipment. • Use a chip guard. • Air pressure of 30 psi (at the nozzle) is permitted to dry objects.
Hazardous gases, fumes and vapours are the byproducts of internal combustion engines, solvents and cleansers.
• Verify your work area is adequately ventilated. • Wear appropriate PPE as required. • DO NOT run the engine in enclosed spaces. Provide sufficient ventilation to prevent the build-up of toxic exhaust fumes. Use exhaust extensions to the outdoors or open the shop doors. • Run the engine only when it is necessary for testing or adjustments.

HOT SURFACES AND FLUIDS
WARNING
• Before servicing the machine, allow the engine cooling system, fuel system, exhaust system, hydraulic system and machine surfaces to cool down.
• Use a thermometer to check surface and system temperatures to ensure it is safe to begin service work. • DO NOT begin service work until the surface or system temperature has cooled down to below 38°C (100°F).
The engine, cooling system, exhaust system, fuel system and certain surfaces and handles may be very hot if the machine has been running. Allow the machine to cool to the touch prior to maintaining or servicing the machine.
Only remove the hydraulic coolant fill cap when it is cool enough to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen the fill cap to the first stop to relieve pressure before removing the fill cap completely.
VITON SEALS Safety
WARNING
Viton Fluroelastomers contain constituents harmful to unprotected skin and respiratory tracts. Follow all MSDS recommendations for handling and disposing of Viton manufactured components.
O-rings and seals manufactured with Viton material (fluorine rubber) produce a highly corrosive acid (Hydrofluoric) when subjected to temperatures above 315°C (600°F). Seals appear black and sticky. This acid is extremely difficult to remove after it adheres to skin and can cause extensive tissue damage. Follow these procedures when inspecting equipment that has been subjected to high temperatures such as fire:
• Visually inspect any seals or gaskets which have been exposed to high heat; they will appear black and sticky. • DO NOT touch seals or gaskets that appear black and sticky. • Determine the material composition of any seals or gaskets. If fluro-elastomer seals (Viton, Fluorel, or
Tecnoflon) have been used, the affected area must be decontaminated before undertaking further work. • Wear disposable, acid resistant, heavy duty gloves and clothing (neoprene). Wear eye and respiratory protection. • Neutralize the affected area by washing it thoroughly using large quantities of lime water (Calcium
Hydroxide) solution. • Discard contaminated materials, rags and gloves in accordance with MSDS recommendations and industry best practice.
