2 Safety
Modifications and spare parts
• Do not modify the machine and the work equipment/attachment (for
example the safety equipment, lights, tires, straightening and welding
work).
• Modifications must be approved by the manufacturer and performed by
an authorized service center.
• Use only original spare parts.
Protective structures
• The cab, rollbar and protective grate are tested protective structures
and may not be changed (e.g. no drilling, bending, welding).
• Perform a visual check according to the maintenance plan (for
example check fastenings for damage).
• If damage or defects are detected, have them immediately checked
and repaired by an authorized service center.
• Have retrofitting work only performed by an authorized service center.
• Replace self-locking fasteners (for example self-locking nuts) by new
ones after removing them.
2.10 Measures for avoiding risks
Tires
• Have repair work on the tires only performed by trained technical
personnel.
• Check the tires for correct pressure and visible damage (for example
cracks, cuts).
• Tighten the wheel nuts to the specified tightening torque. (See chapter
7.18 Tires/tracks).
• Use only approved tires.
• The machine must have identical tires (for example profile, revolutions
per mile).
Tracks
• Repair work on tracks may be performed only by trained technicians.
• Check the tracks for correct tension and visible damage (for example
cracks, cuts).
• Proceed with extreme care on slippery ground (for example on steel
plates, ice), increased slipping hazard.
• Use only approved tracks.
