Safety WORKING WITH OIL
• To reduce risk of fire, machines should be completely cleaned of debris at least daily, particularly around the engine exhaust components. Hydraulic oil leaks, excess grease, fuel and oil accumulation (including spillage) should be eliminated immediately, always shut off engine before cleaning machine.
Direct contact with oil implies a risk of skin complaints such as eczema. Strict hygiene should always be observed: • Oils used in this machine may be hot enough to cause serious burns.
• Maintain a clean cab interior, clear away trash or debris.
• Avoid contact with oil, particularly heated oil.
• Machine should be washed completely at every major service.
• Oil on the skin should be washed off immediately with soap and water.
• Inspect the machine daily for signs of damage or unusual wear, to structures.
• Wear protective gloves. Hands should be clean before putting on gloves. Apply protective cream to the hands to make washing easier.
• Check for fluid leaks, or faulty operation. Repair or replace malfunctioning parts and systems immediately.
• Do not put oily rags in your pockets. • Oil soiled clothing should be changed as soon as possible.
• 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.
• Always keep an extra overall handy, but not in the machine where it can become dirty.
• Check windows for scratching, crazing and cloudiness that could impair clear visibility all around the machine.
• Avoid breathing in oil fumes.
• Cuts and abrasions must be attended to immediately. Clean them and apply first-aid. • Wash hands and arms frequently. For example, at each meal break or as often as possible.
• 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.
