Make sure that the tools to be used
are not damaged.

cause personal injury or damage to the devices.
Check and calibrate measurement
equipment periodically.

may cause damage to the devices or
performance degradation of them.
Be sure to lockout/tagout before
starting inspection and maintenance
work.
* Unexpected startup of the engine could cause
serious personal injury or damage to the
devices.
Be sure to establish zero energy state
before starting inspection and
maintenance work.
* Unexpected activation of the devices could
cause serious personal injury or damage to the
devices.
Stay away from rotating parts during
operation.
* Otherwise you may get caught in the rotating
parts and seriously injured.
Keep the belt for the crankshaft
pulley or alternator free from oil and
grease.
* Otherwise, a slip could occur, which will shorten
the service life of the belt.
Check each belt status (tension,
damage and the like) of the
crankshaft pulley or alternator.
* If the belt has been stretched, the battery
cannot be cahrged and DC power supply will be
lost.
Stay away from rotating parts during
operation.
* Otherwise you may get caught in the rotating
parts and seriously injured.
Adjust the belt tension properly in
accordance with the procedures
recommended by SME.
* Otherwise, the service life of the alternator,
bearing or belt could be shortened.
* After you replaced the belt with a new one,
check the tension again after the initial stretch
of the belt is settled.
Keep the belt for the crankshaft
pulley or alternator free from oil and
grease.
* Otherwise, a slip could occur, which will shorten
the service life of the belt.
Install a protective cover which can
dissipate heat.
* Otherwise, the damper could be enclosed and
degenerated due to poor heat dissipation and
ventilation, and which may cause breakage of
the crankshaft.
