2.8 PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE
2.8.1 WARNING PLATES
q
Before starting any maintenance operation, position the ma-
chine on a firm and level surface, lower the equipment to the
ground, engage the safety locks of the equipment and the con-
trols, and stop the engine.
q
If another person starts the engine and operates the control le-
vers while the operator is servicing the machine, this may result
in serious injury or even death.
q
To avoid these risks, always attach warning plates to the control
levers and to the ignition key before performing any mainte-
nance operation; if necessary, attach additional warning tags al-
so around the machine and in particular to the cab door
handles.
2.8.2 TOOLS
q
Use only the tools supplied together with the machine and high-
quality tools suitable for the tasks to be performed.
q
Do not use worn, damaged, low-quality tools or tools that are
not suitable for the tasks to be performed, in order to avoid any
personal injury.
2.8.3 STABILITY
q
When dismantling or assembling the machine for the purpose of maintenance or repair, always ensure that at
each stage of the process, care is taken to ensure that the machine remains stable. Failure to do this could result
in serious injury or death.
2.8.4 MAINTENANCE STAFF
q
Any maintenance operation must be carried out exclusively by authorized and duly trained staff; specific and
personal protection measures must be adopted when grinding, welding and when using sledges or heavy ham-
mers.
