MAINTENANCE
The maintenance activities are carried out by the
carrier driver.
WARNING Hot hydraulic oil squirting out
The hydraulic system is under high pressure. If
hydraulic connections come loose, hydraulic oil will
squirt out under high pressure. Hydraulic oil squirting
out can lead to serious injury.
► Immediately switch off the hydraulic attachment
and the carrier if you detect any leaks in the
hydraulic circuits.
► Depressurise the hydraulic system (see chapter
Depressurising the hydraulic system).
► Repair any leaks before operating the hydraulic
attachment again.

fittings become very hot during operation. Touching
them may lead to burns.

If the hydraulic attachment is started by accident this
may lead to serious injury.
► Follow the instructions in the Operating
Instructions of the carrier to prevent the hydraulic
attachment starting by accident.
WARNING Unexpected movement
Sudden movements of the carrier may cause serious
injury.
► Secure the carrier such that it cannot move
unexpectedly.
► Observe the carrier manufacturer’s instructions.
