|
Before servicing/performing maintenance on the machine, electrical power must be physically disconnected; battery plugs must be disconnected from the batteries, or the trailing cable must be unplugged, and warning tags and padlocks shall be applied by a certified electrician. Certified electricians shall perform or direct any electrical work, including any energized testing, repair work in controllers, motors, or other approved compartments, and shall insure that all compartments are properly closed and inspected prior to re-energization. All applicable lock out and tag out procedures must be followed. |
Note: Always use proper eye protection when performing any mechanical repairs to a vehicle including, but not limited to, any installation and or repairs to the starter. Failure to use proper eye protection can lead to serious and permanent eye damage.
Note: Only perform the mechanical functions that you are properly qualified to perform. Mechanical repairs that are beyond your technical capabilities should be handled by a professional installation specialist.
Note: To avoid injury or damage, always disconnect the negative cable at the battery before removing or replacing the alternator. The alternator output terminal is always lived ("hot"). If the battery is not disconnected, a tool accidentally touching this terminal and ground can quickly get hot enough to cause skin burn or damage to the tool and surrounding parts.
