Safety instructions
• Prior to performing service, maintenance and repair work, attach warning labels, such
as “Repair work – do not start machine!”, to the starter or to the control elements.
Remove the starting key!
• Perform service, maintenance and repair work only if
• the machine is positioned on firm and level ground
• all hydraulically movable attachments and working equipment have been lowered to
the ground
• the engine is stopped
• the starting key is removed and
• pressure accumulator is empty
• Move the control levers
• the machine has been secured against unintentional movement
• Should maintenance or repair be inevitable with the engine running:
• Lower the stabilizer blade and raise the control lever bases
• Only work in groups of two
• Both persons must be authorized for the operation of the machine
• One person must be seated on the seat and maintain visual contact with the other
person
• Observe the specific safety instructions in the work manual
• Keep a safe distance from all rotating and moving parts, for example fan blades, V-
belt drives, PTO shaft drives, fans, etc.
• Prior to performing assembly work on the machine, ensure that no movable parts will
roll away or start moving.
• To avoid accident hazard, 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
appropriate load-bearing capacity!
Stay clear of suspended loads!
• Have loads fastened and crane operators guided by experienced persons only!
The person guiding the operator must be within sight or sound of him.
• Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery if work needs to be performed on the
electrical system.
• Always use specially designed or otherwise safety-oriented ladders and working
platforms to perform overhead assembly work. Never use machine parts or attach-
ments/superstructures as a climbing aid! Wear a safety harness when performing
maintenance at greater heights! Keep all handholds, steps, handrails, platforms,
landings and ladders free from dirt, snow and ice!
• Clean the machine, especially connections and threaded unions, of any traces of oil,
fuel or preservatives before performing 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 deter-
gents, 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 malfunctions without delay!
• Always tighten any threaded fittings 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.
