Donot use pressurized water near electrical components or near component’ bearings Pressurized air and/or water (not recommended) can cause debris and/or hot water tobe blown out which could resuitin personal injury \When pressurized ais used, wear protective clothing, protective shoes and eye protection. Fye protection includes gogales ora protective face shield. " ia ‘The maximum air pressure for cleaning purposes must be reduced to 205 kPa (30 psi) when the air nozzle is deadheaded and used with effective chip guaraing (f applicable) and personal protective equipment. The maximum water pressure for cleaning Purposes must be below 275 kPa (40 ps). Aways wear eye protection for cleaning the cooling sytem. Do not touch any part of an operating engine. Allow the engine to cool before ary maintenance is performed on the engine. Relieve all pressure inthe air system, in the hydraulic sytem, in the lubrication system, inthe fuel system, oF in the cooling system before any lines tings o related items are disconnected 2.3.2 Containing Fluid pillage Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained dutig inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair ofthe product. Be prepared to collect the uid with ultable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any Component containing fuids Note: + If uid containment is incorporated int the basefame it must be inspected at regular intervals.
