Safety precautions for road sweepers are as follows: 1. Beware of fire hazards: During road sweeper maintenance, flammable materials such as fuels and cleaning agents are frequently used. It is essential to follow standard operating procedures and implement fire prevention measures. Always keep a fire extinguisher on hand to prevent fires. Do not smoke or ignite flames near the fuel tank or battery, as spilled fuel vapors and hydrogen gas from the battery can easily catch fire. 2. Beware of burns: After prolonged use, components of the engine (such as the radiator, exhaust pipes, power steering fluid reservoir, and spark plugs) can become extremely hot. Avoid contact to prevent burns. 3. Beware of mechanical injuries: Check the initial gear position before starting to avoid collisions caused by excessive speed. When working under the engine hood, ensure the cab is clear to prevent accidental injury from sudden engine movement or improper operation by others. 4. Avoid damaging the sweeper: Take care not to damage the road sweeper, especially to prevent brake fluid leaks. Brake fluid can damage the sweeper's paint film and, if accidentally splashed into the eyes, can impair vision or cause blindness. In case of accidental exposure, rinse immediately with clean water.
