Personal safety measures
• Avoid any operational mode that might be prejudicial to safety.
• Wear protective clothing and equipment (for example a hard hat,
protective gloves, safety boots).
• Tie back long hair and remove all jewelry.
• If maintenance on a running engine cannot be avoided:
- Only work in groups of two.
- Both persons must be authorized and trained for the operation of the
machine.
- One person must be seated on the operator seat and stay in contact
with the second person.
- Keep a safe distance from rotating parts (for example from fan
blades, belts).
- Keep a safe distance from hot parts (for example from the exhaust
system).
- Perform maintenance only in well-ventilated rooms or rooms with an
exhaust-gas suction system.
• Safely lock/support machine components before starting work.
• Apply special care when working on the fuel system due to the
increased fire hazard.
