［ ## 1.6.3 DURING INSPECTION &amp; MAINTENANCE ## STOP ENGINE BEFORE PERFORMING INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Always stop the engine and allow the engine and other components to cool before performing inspection or maintenance activities. Do not touch engine components when the engine is running or immediately after it has stopped to prevent serious injury or death. There are many hazards that can cause harm, including rotating parts, high voltage, high pressure fluids, and high temperature. ## HOT FLUIDS Do not inspect the engine until it cools down. To prevent burn injuries. - · Do not remove the radiator cap immediately after stopping operation. Hot radiator fluid may cause burns. Wait until the radiator cap is cool to the touch, then slowly loosen to release the internal pressure. Then remove cap. - · Do not remove the oil cap or plug immediately after stopping operation. Hot oil may cause burns. Wait until the oil cap or plug is cool to the touch, then slowly loosen it to release the internal pressure. Then remove the oil cap or plug. ## HIGH PRESSURE OIL Do not attempt to repair or tighten hydraulic hoses or fittings when the engine is running or when the hydraulic circuit is pressurized. Pressure can be maintained in the hydraulic circuit long after the engine has been shut down. - · Always release the pressure on the hydraulic lines before refilling or draining the oil, or inspecting or maintaining the machine. High pressure oil can penetrate the skin or eyes and cause injury, blindness or death. Fluid escaping from a small hole can be almost invisible. <!-- image --> <!-- image --> <!-- image --> - · Always wear a face shield, protective glasses and gloves when inspecting for leaks. - · Always use a piece of cardboard or wood to inspect for suspected leaks. If oil is injected into the skin, it must be removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this type of injury. High pressure oil from even a pin hole leak can penetrate the skin or ey…

## D. STOP ENGINE Do not attempt any MAINTENANCE with engine running. Always stop the engine and allow machine to cool to avoid injury. Otherwise, there is a possibility of danger that your hand may be caught in the cooling fan or fan belt resulting injury. If it is unavoidable to operate the engine for inspection or maintenance, carry out the work with two people. The person seated in the operator's seat should be ready to stop the engine at any time while watching for a signal from the other person. ## E. TAG-OUT MACHINE Before beginning any inspection or maintenance procedures, secure a "DO NOT OPERATE" tag (P/N: YN20T01320P1) to the operator's console to inform the operator that the machine will be inoperable for inspection and maintenance. This tag will help prevent accidental starting of the machine. ## F. OBSERVE PRECAUTIONS Start the inspection and maintenance work fully understanding the contents of safety precautions indicated on the machine labels. ## G. HOT SURFACES &amp; FLUIDS Wear the proper safety equipment when working around hot areas. Do not change oils, engine coolant or filters immediately after machine has been stopped. Allow machine to cool down before performing maintenance procedures. <!-- image --> <!-- image --> <!-- image --> <!-- image -->

Division 3 AO 1-2019 Oregon Administrative Rules Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division - (ii) Determine if the equipment meets the criteria developed in accordance with paragraph (c)(2)(i) of this section. - (3) Equipment must not be used until an inspection under this paragraph demonstrates that the equipment is configured in accordance with the applicable criteria. - (d) Each shift. - (1) A competent person must begin a visual inspection prior to each shift the equipment will be used, which must be completed before or during that shift. The inspection must consist of observation for apparent deficiencies. Taking apart equipment components and booming down is not required as part of this inspection unless the results of the visual inspection or trial operation indicate that further investigation necessitating taking apart equipment components or booming down is needed. Determinations made in conducting the inspection must be reassessed in light of observations made during operation. At a minimum the inspection must include all of the following: - (i) Control mechanisms for maladjustments interfering with proper operation. - (ii) Control and drive mechanisms for apparent excessive wear of components and contamination by lubricants, water or other foreign matter. - (iii) Air, hydraulic, and other pressurized lines for deterioration or leakage, particularly those which flex in normal operation. - (iv) Hydraulic system for proper fluid level. - (v) Hooks and latches for deformation, cracks, excessive wear, or damage such as from chemicals or heat. - (vi) Wire rope reeving for compliance with the manufacturer's specifications. - (vii) Wire rope, in accordance with 1926.1413(a). - (viii) Electrical apparatus for malfunctioning, signs of apparent excessive deterioration, dirt or moisture accumulation. - (ix) Tires (when in use) for proper inflation and condition.

［ ## 1.6.2 BEFORE INSPECTION &amp; MAINTENANCE ## READ OPERATION/MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES CAREFULLY Improper maintenance could cause serious injury (crush or burn) and damage the machine. Read and understand the maintenance procedures (preparation for safe work, proper tools, qualifications, important parts, supervisor designation and wear the appropriate personal protective equipment, etc.) described in the manuals before safely and carefully inspecting and performing maintenance on the machine. ## CONFIRM JOB PROCEDURES To prevent accidents, confirm all work procedures before starting. ## USE A SIGNAL PERSON AND A FLAGMAN Know and use the hand signals required for particular jobs and confirm who has the responsibility for signaling: All personnel must know and understand all the signals. The operator shall respond to signals only from the appointed signal person, but shall obey a stop signal from anyone at any time. The signal person must stand in a clearly visible location when giving the signals. ## ORGANIZE AND CLEAN UP WORKING SITE Inspecting and maintaining the machine at a messy working site may cause personal injury. Clear obstacles, grease, oil, paint, debris, etc., from the working site. ## ATTACH A "DO NOT OPERATE" TAG To prevent serious injury or death: - · Never allow unauthorized personnel to start the engine or touch the control levers during inspection and maintenance activities. - · Always lower the attachment, pull the control lock lever up, stop the engine, and remove the key before performing maintenance. - · Use a temporary "DO NOT OPERATE" hang tag to communicate that the machine is out of service. You may need to use more than one temporary hang tag depending on the work to be performed. - · Always have an operator at the controls to shut down the machine if the machine needs to be running for maintenance activity or an inspection.
