ACCIDENT PREVENTION

Always wear heavy-duty footwear and overalls. Never wear loose, fl apping garments, rings, bracelets and/ or necklaces in the vicinity of engines or moving parts. Always wear protective gloves and goggles when: • fi lling up batteries with acid solution • refuelling with inhibitors or antifreeze • replacing or topping up lubricant (hot engine oil may cause burns and scalds. Only carry out these operations when the oil has dropped to a temperature of below 50°C/122°F). When working in the engine compartment, pay particular attention to how you move, to avoid contact with moving parts or high temperature components. Wear goggles and use high pressure air nozzle to clean (maximum air pressure 200 kPa (2 bar, 30 psi, 2 kg/cm2). Wear a protective helmet when working in an area were there are suspended loads or systems installed at headheight. Use protective hand creams. Immediately replace wet overalls. Always keep the engine clean, removing oil, grease and coolant stains. Store cloths in fl ame-proof containers. Do not leave foreign bodies on the engine. Use suitable, safe containers for used oil. When completing a repair, make suitable provisions to stop the engine taking in air if, after start-up, an uncontrolled increase in engine speed were to occur.

WARNING

Do not carry out maintenance operations when the electric power supply is turned on: always check to ensure that the appliances are properly grounded. During diagnosis and maintenance operations, make sure that your hands and feet are dry, and whenever possible use insulating stands.

IMPORTANT

Note that Tigercat machines are equipped with an After Run/ Accessory Relay which delays by 90 seconds the power disconnect to engine related fuses and relays (ECU /ATS relay, NOx Sensor relay, NOx Sensor fuse, ECU Power fuse, DCU fuse). Whenever the engine is stopped, all DEF solution is pumped back to tank before the engine power system is turned off. This process takes approximately 90 seconds.

Refer to SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION SYSTEM in your machine’s Operator’s Manual for more information.
