GENERAL SAFETY MEASURES
3-8
PROTECTION AGAINST INJURIES
Do not insert any part of your body in the operating range of
moving parts, such as work unit and cylinder, or machine and
work unit. Never stand in a hazardous area. Distances vary
when the work unit or steering are operated, this may lead to se-
rious injuries.
WORKING AT HIGH TEMPERATURES
• Directly after operating the machine, the engine coolant, the
engine oil, and the hydraulic oil are extremely hot and under
pressure. Do not try to unscrew caps, drain water or oil, or
replace filters directly after operating the machine, since this
may lead to severe burns due to hot fluids or hot machine
parts. Wait until the temperature has fallen. Strictly adhere to
the described procedures when performing the required
measures.
• Lower the work equipment.
• Switch off the engine and wait for the radiator to cool down
before you unscrew the radiator cap. Slowly turn the radiator
cap until it reaches the first catch to let the pressure escape.
Then, proceed turning the cap further and remove it. If you
do not let the pressure escape, boiling water may spurt out
when you remove the radiator cap.
• Switch off the engine. Allow the hydraulic oil to cool down
before you unscrew the cap of the hydraulic tank to drain the
hydraulic oil. Slowly turn the cap of the hydraulic tank to let

sure escape, oil may spurt out when you remove the cap of
the hydraulic tank.
