personnel. Seek medical attention in the event of an injury.
Contact with cleaning solvent compound may cause skin irritation. Use
chemical-resistant gloves. In case of skin contact, remove any
contaminated clothing before reuse. Eye contact may cause irritation,
tearing, or blurring of vision. Use face shield or goggles when eye
contact may occur. In case of eye contact, flush eyes with large
amounts of water for at least 15 minutes or until irritation subsides.

1. Keep it clean - Dirt, grease, oil, and debris get in the way and may cover up a serious problem. Clean
work area as needed. Use cleaning solvent to clean oil and grease from all exterior metal surfaces of
equipment. Use a soap and water solution to clean dirt and debris from all exterior and interior surfaces,
and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
2. Bolts, nuts, and screws - Check for obvious looseness and missing, bent, or broken condition. Look for
corrosion around bolt heads. If mounting hardware is loose, damaged, or corroded, notify Field
Maintenance.
