3-7.2 Asbestos Dust During Clutch ServicingWARNINGExcessive amounts of asbestos dust may be a potential health hazard that may cause serious injury or possiblyeven death.a.Because studies have indicated that exposure to excessive amounts of asbestos dust may be a potential healthhazard, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set maximum limits of levels of airborneasbestos dust to which workers may be exposed. Since most automotive friction materials normally contain asizeable amount of asbestos, it is important that people who handle clutch linings be aware of the problem andknow the precautions to be taken.b.Areas where clutch work is done should be set aside, if possible, and should be posted with an asbestos exposuresign as follows:ASBESTOS DUST HAZARDAVOID BREATHING DUSTWEAR ASSIGNED PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENTDO NOT REMAIN IN AREA UNLESS YOURWORK REQUIRES ITBREATHING ASBESTOS DUST MAY BEHAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTHc.OSHA standards should be consulted with respect to mandatory requirements as well as for suggestedprocedures to minimize exposure. (Reference: Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 1910.1001.)3-8 ELECTRICAL3-8.1 Periodically inspect electrical connectors on the outside of the cab, on the engine and frame for corrosion andtightness. Exposed terminals such as water temperature, oil pressure, fuel sender, cranking motor and feed through studsshould be cleaned and recoated with a suitable grease such as IH 472141-C1 or equivalent. This should include groundcable connections for batteries, engine and cab.3-9 ENGINE3-9.1 Generala.For effective emission control and low operating cost, it is important that maintenance operations listed on thefollowing pages be performed at the specified periods or mileage intervals indicated (kilometers, miles, hours ormonths, whichever occurs first).b.Service intervals are based upon average operating conditions. Where dusty, frequent start and stop or heavilyladen operations are encountered, more frequent servicing will be required.3-5
