High Voltage (Power On)<br />

Avoid contact with high voltage in the equipment, and do not remove safety guards, panels, or<br />

covers in the high voltage area. Severe injury or DEATH may occur upon contact with or in the<br />

proximity of high voltages due to electrical shock.<br />

High Voltage (Power Off)<br />

Avoid contact with the high voltage circuit area. Properly discharge all high voltage capacitors<br />

with the grounding rod. Dangerous high voltages exist when power is turned off and will remain<br />

until discharged. Severe injury or DEATH may occur upon contact with or in the proximity of<br />

high voltages due to electrical shock.<br />

Rotating Equipment<br />

Stay clear of the antenna dish during rotation. Severe injury or DEATH may occur from being<br />

crushed by the antenna dish.<br />

Elevated Work Platform<br />

Use all handrails, safety chains, safety harnesses, safety rails, and ladders properly while<br />

servicing the antenna pedestal and tower. Install all safety equipment and ladders prior to<br />

maintenance tasks. Severe injury or DEATH may occur from impacting the surface below.<br />

Hot Surfaces<br />

Avoid contact with the diesel engine and exhaust pipes during and after engine operation.<br />

Contact with hot surfaces can cause skin burns and other injuries relating to hot surfaces.<br />

Explosive Gas (Fuel)<br />

Clean and remove all fuel spills during engine servicing with absorbent materials or cloths.<br />

Ventilate the area of fuel spills and cleanup. Avoid sparks and open flames in the area. Fumes<br />

may accumulate and explode causing severe burns or DEATH.<br />

Explosive Gas (Batteries)<br />

Always service batteries only in a well-ventilated area. Hydrogen and Oxygen gases may<br />

accumulate during the charging process. Avoid sparks or open flames near batteries. Severe<br />

burns or DEATH may occur due to explosion.<br />

Sulfuric Acid<br />

Wear protective clothing, face shields, gloves, and aprons when servicing batteries. Severe skin<br />

and eye injury may occur upon contact with battery acid. Flush skin and eyes with water<br />

immediately and get medical attention.<br />
