Safety Information
• Wear a safety harness when performing elevated maintenance work. Keep all handles,
steps, handrails, platforms, landings, and ladders free from dirt, snow and ice.
• Always use specially designed or otherwise safety-oriented ladders and working
platforms to perform overhead assembly work. NEVER use machine parts or
attachments/superstructures as a climbing aid!
• Do not use the work equipment as lifting platforms for persons.
• In accordance with this Operator’s Manual and instructions for the respective assembly,
release the pressure in all system sections and pressure lines (hydraulic system)
before performing any maintenance work.
• Prior to performing assembly work on the machine, make sure no movable parts will roll
away or start moving.
• To avoid the risk of accidents, parts and large assemblies being moved for replacement
purposes must be carefully attached and secured to lifting gear.
• Use only suitable lifting gear and suspension systems in a technically perfect state with
adequate load-bearing capacity! Stay clear of suspended loads!
• Clean the machine, especially connections and threaded unions, of any traces of oil,
fuel or preservatives before performed maintenance/repair work!
Do not use aggressive detergents!
Use lint-free cleaning rags!
• Before cleaning the machine with water, steam jet (high-pressure cleaner) or
detergents, cover or tape up all openings which – for safety and functional reasons –
must be protected against water, steam or detergent penetration. Special care must be
taken with the electrical system.
• After cleaning, remove all covers and tapes applied for that purpose!
• After cleaning, examine all fuel, lubricant and hydraulic oil lines for leaks, chafe marks
and damage!
• Rectify all defects without delay!
• Always tighten any screw connections that have been loosened during maintenance
and repair!
• Any safety devices removed for set-up, maintenance or repair purposes must be
refitted and checked immediately upon completion of the maintenance and repair work
• Make sure all consumables and replaced parts are disposed of safely and with
minimum environmental impact!
2.11 Special Hazards
Battery • In case of a frozen battery or of an insufficient electrolyte level, do not try starting the
machine with battery jumper cables. The battery can burst or explode.
• Batteries contain caustic sulphuric acid. When handling the battery, observe the
specific safety instructions and regulations relative to accident prevention.
• A volatile oxyhydrogen mixture forms in batteries during normal operation and
especially when charging. Always wear gloves and eye protection when working with
batteries.
• Starting the machine with a battery jumper cable can be dangerous if performed
improperly. Observe the safety instructions regarding the battery.
• Before taking up work on machine parts hazardous for life and limb (bruising, cutting),
always ensure safe blocking/support of these areas
• Perform maintenance and repair work beneath a raised machine, attachments or
additional equipment only if a safe and secure support has been provided for (the sole
use of hydraulic cylinders, jacks etc. does not sufficiently secure raised machines or
equipment/attachments)
