Maintenance
• Observe the intervals prescribed by law and those
specified in this Operator’s Manual for routine checks/
inspections and maintenance.
• For inspection and maintenance, ensure that all tools
and service center equipment are adapted to the
performance of the task described in this Operator’s
Manual.
• Do not use any damaged or malfunctioning tools.
• Have hydraulic hoses replaced within stipulated
intervals even if no visual defects can be detected.
• The vehicle and the engine must be stopped during
maintenance.
• Once maintenance is over, correctly install safety
equipment again that has been removed.
• Wait for the vehicle to cool down before touching
components.
Personal safety measures
• Avoid any operational mode that might be prejudicial
to safety.
• Wear protective clothing and equipment (for example a
hard hat, protective gloves, safety boots).
• Tie back long hair and remove all jewelry.
• If maintenance on a running engine cannot be
avoided:
- Only work in groups of two.
- Both persons must be authorized and trained for the
operation of the machine.
- One person must be seated on the operator's seat
and stay in contact with the second person.
- Keep a safe distance from rotating parts (for
example from fan blades, belts).
- Keep a safe distance from hot parts (for example,
from the exhaust system).
- Perform maintenance only in well-ventilated rooms
or rooms with an exhaust-gas suction system.
