WARNING
PARTS UNDER PRESSURE
•
Wear safety goggles and use caution when removing or installing springs, snap rings, retaining
rings, and other parts under spring tension. These parts can act as projectiles. Failure to comply
may result in injury or death to personnel.
•
The radiator is very hot and pressurized during vehicle operation. Let radiator cool before
removing cap. Failure to do so can result in serious burns.
•
During pressure tests, ensure air pressure is drained to 0 psi (0 kPa) before taking off any
components. If pressure is not released, plates or line could blow off and harm personnel. Do
not drain air from tank with any part of body in air spray path. Skin embolisms and/or debris in
eyes can occur from released pressure.
•
High air pressure may be released from valve stem when valve core is removed. Stay clear of
valve stem after core is removed. Ensure all personnel wear suitable eye protection. Failure to
comply may result in injury to personnel.
•
Stand clear of trajectory area during deflation or personal injury or death may result.
•
Lock-ring is under tension. If lock-ring breaks loose it could cause injury to personnel. Keep
hands and fingers away from lock-ring when removing.
•
Use extreme care when removing or installing spring retainers. Spring retainers are under
tension and can act as projectiles when released suddenly. Ensure proper eye protection is
worn to prevent injury to personnel.
•
Use extreme care when removing or installing springs. Springs are under tension and can act
as projectiles when released. Ensure proper eye protection is worn to prevent injury to
personnel. Eye protection is required during all grinding operations. Failure to comply may result
in serious injury to personnel.
•
Failure to relieve tank pressure may result in sudden, unexpected loss of pressure. Failure to
comply may result in personal injury or death.
•
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, as steam and hot coolant can escape.
Failure to comply may result in personal injury or death.
