WARNING - Cont
Always wear protective gloves when handling fuel discharge
cable slip through hands. Rusty or broken wires can cause
valve cable. Do not let
injury to personnel.
Water tank body is heavy and bulky. Make sure that there is enough clearance a-
round and over truck before lifting unit. This will stop damage to equipment and
injury to personnel.
Be very careful at all times when removing and replacing van body. Check lifting
shackles for safety, and make sure lifting sling hooks are fully held in lifting shack-
les.
Keep personnel clear of the underside of body as it is being hoisted and lowered.
Use enough support blocking to keep body level and safe.
Before taking off horizontal leveling worm gear housing, put supports under inter-
mediate case to stop intermediate case from turning. If case turns, fixtures which
stick out could injure personnel or damage equipment.
Be sure that derrick tube is in cradle and that rack carrier nut is braced to keep
boring case from turning when worm gear housing is taken off. This will avoid in-
jury to personnel and damage to equipment.
Outrigger leg assembly is very heavy and must be properly supported and balanced
on floor jack before taking out mounting screws. If care is not taken, assembly can
fall and injure personnel and damage equipment.
Never work under dump body unless safety braces are properly positioned. If these
steps are not taken, personnel can be seriously injured.
Do not heat derrick tube when straightening it. This could make it weak. When set-
ting poles, a weak tube would be dangerous to personnel and equipment.
Derrick assembly is heavy. Hold it up firmly when taking if off from over rack bar.
It can fall and cause damage to equipment and injury to personnel.
