TM 5-3805-263-14&P-1 Safety Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can catch on controls or other parts of the machine. Make certain all protective guards and covers are secured in place on the machine. Keep the machine, especially the deck, walkways and steps, free of foreign material, such as debris, oil, tools and other items which are not part of the machine. Secure all loose items such as lunch boxes, tools and other items which are not part of the machine. Know the hand signals and who gives them. Accept signals from one person only. Never put maintenance fluids into glass containers. Report all needed repairs. Do not allow unauthorized personnel on the machine. Pressure air can cause personal injury. When using pressure air for cleaning, wear a protective face shield and protective clothing. Crushing or Cutting Prevention Never attempt adjustments while the machine is moving or the engine is running. Support equipment and implements properly when working beneath them. Do not depend on hydraulic cylinders to hold it up. Any implement can fall if a control is moved, or a hydraulic line breaks. Where there are implement linkages, the clearance in the linkage area will increase or decrease with movement of the implement. Stay clear of all rotating and moving parts. Keep objects away from moving fan blades. They will throw or cut any object or tool that falls or is pushed into them. Do not use a kinked or frayed wire rope cable. Wear gloves when handling the wire rope cable. Retainer pins, when struck with force, can fly out and injure nearby persons. Wear protective glasses when striking a retainer pin to avoid injury to your eyes. Chips or other debris can fly off objects when struck. Make sure no one can be injured by flying debris before striking any object. Burn Prevention At operating temperature, the engine coolant is hot and under pressure. The radiator and all lines to heaters or the engine contain hot water or steam. Any contact can cause severe burns. Check the coolant level only after the engine has been stopped and the filler cap is cool enough to remove with your bare hand. Remove the cooling system filler cap slowly to relieve pressure. 4
