Contact with high pressure fuel may cause fluid penetration and burn hazards. High pressure fuel spray may cause a fire hazard. Failure to follow these inspection, maintenance and service instructions may cause personal injury or death.
After the engine has stopped, wait for 10 minutes to allow the fuel pressure to be purged from the high-pressure fuel lines before any service or repair is performed on the engine fuel lines. The 10 minute wait will also allow static charge to dissipate from the low-pressure fuel system.Allow the pressure to be purged in the air system, in the hydraulic system, in the lubrication system, or in the cooling system before any lines, fittings, or related items are disconnected.Induction System
Sulfuric Acid Burn Hazard may cause serious personal injury or death.The exhaust gas cooler may contain a small amount of sulfuric acid. The use of fuel with sulfur levels greater than 15 ppm may increase the amount of sulfuric acid formed. The sulfuric acid may spill from the cooler during service of the engine. The sulfuric acid will burn the eyes, skin and clothing on contact. Always wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) that is noted on a material safety data sheet (MSDS) for sulfuric acid. Always follow the directions for first aid that are noted on a material safety data sheet (MSDS) for sulfuric acid.
Coolant
When the engine is at operating temperature, the engine coolant is hot. The coolant is also under pressure. The radiator and all lines to the heaters, aftertreatment system or to the engine contain hot coolant.Any contact with hot coolant or with steam can cause severe burns. Allow cooling system components to cool before the cooling system is drained.Check the coolant level after the engine has stopped and the engine has been allowed to cool.Ensure that the filler cap is cool before removing the filler cap. The filler cap must be cool enough to touch with a bare hand. Remove the filler cap slowly to relieve pressure.Cooling system conditioner contains alkali. Alkali can cause personal injury. Do not allow alkali to contact the skin, the eyes, or the mouth.Oils
Skin may be irritated following repeated or prolonged exposure to mineral and synthetic base oils. Refer to your suppliers Material Safety Data Sheets for detailed information. Hot oil and lubricating components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil to contact the skin. Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used.Diesel Fuel
Diesel engines have high-pressure fuel systems and the fuel can reach temperatures of over 100° C (212° F). Ensure that the fuel has cooled before any service or repairs are performed.Diesel may be irritating to the eyes, respiratory system, and skin. Prolonged exposure to diesel may cause various skin conditions. Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used. Refer to supplier Material safety Data sheets for detailed information.Batteries
Electrolyte is an acid. Electrolyte can cause personal injury. Do not allow electrolyte to contact the skin or the eyes. Always wear protective glasses for servicing batteries. Wash hands after touching the batteries and connectors. Use of gloves is recommended.Engine and Aftertreatment System
Do not touch any part of an operating engine or engine aftertreatment system. Allow the engine or the engine aftertreatment system to cool before any maintenance is performed on the engine or the engine aftertreatment system. Relieve all pressure in the appropriate system before any lines, fittings, or related items are disconnected.Aftertreatment System and Diesel Exhaust Fluid
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) temperatures can reach 65° to 70°C (149.° to 126°F) during normal engine operation. Stop the engine. Wait for 15 minutes to allow the DEF system to be purged and the DEF to cool before service or repair is performed.
