Tigercat H855E/LH855E Harvester WARNING
It is not recommended to walk on machine surfaces not designated as walking areas. Do not walk on angled steel or irregular shaped surfaces.
WORKING WITH OIL Direct contact with oil implies a risk of skin complaints (example: eczema). Observe strict hygiene. Observe the following when working with oil: • Oils used in this machine may be hot enough to cause serious burns.
Walking surfaces on the machine must be covered with anti-slip materials to provide a safe foot hold and prevent slipping.
• Avoid contact with oil, particularly heated oil. • Wash off oil on the skin immediately with soap and water.
Maintain these anti-slip surfaces on a regular basis. If the surface shows signs of wear, replace the anti-slip material immediately.
• Wear protective gloves. Clean hands before putting on gloves. Apply protective cream to the hands to make washing easier. • Don't put oily rags in your pockets.
• To reduce risk of fire, completely clean machine of debris daily, particularly around the engine exhaust components. Eliminate hydraulic oil leaks, excess grease, fuel and oil accumulation (including spillage) immediately. Turn OFF the engine and remove the ignition key before cleaning the machine.
• Change oil soiled clothing as soon as possible. • Keep an extra overall handy, but not in the machine where it can become dirty. • Attend to cuts and abrasions immediately. Clean them and apply first-aid.
• Maintain a clean cab interior, clear away trash or debris.
• Avoid breathing in oil fumes.
• Wash machine completely at every major service.
• Wash hands and arms frequently, for example, at each meal break or as often as possible.
• Inspect the machine daily for signs of damage or unusual wear, to structures. • Check for fluid leaks, or faulty operation. Repair or replace malfunctioning parts and systems immediately. • Check windows and door guards for damage. • Check protective windows for cracks. A damaged window has reduced strength to stop flying objects. All damaged windows must be replaced with original equipment. • Check windows for scratching, crazing and cloudiness that could impair clear visibility all around the machine. • Do not operate the machine with any defective or inoperable components. • Check all fluid levels. • Do not operate the machine with any of the exhaust system, safety covers, oil shields, or other devices removed.
• Keep a first aid kit in an easily accessible location on the vehicle at all times. 1.6
