Hydraulics
The machine’s hydraulic system can still be pressurized even when the en-
gine is not running.
• Be careful operating the machine when the hydraulic oil is very cold. Pro-
ceed with caution even after the cold system restriction warning turns off.
Cold hydraulic oil can still be present in certain circuits.
• Do not touch hydraulic components while the machine is operating. Wait
until the machine is cool.
• Hydraulic oil is flammable. Stop the engine immediately if a hydraulic
leak is detected.
3.7 Safety Guidelines when Using Internal Combustion Engines
Running the engine
• Check the fuel lines for leaks and cracks before starting the engine.
• Do not run the machine if fuel leaks are present or the fuel lines are
loose.
• Engine exhaust can kill you in minutes. Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide. Never run the machine indoors or in an enclosed area such
as a deep trench unless there is adequate ventilation.
• Do not run the engine near open flames or in potentially explosive areas.
• Do not touch the engine or exhaust when the engine is running or imme-
diately after it has been turned off.
• Do not operate a machine when its fuel cap is loose or missing.
• Do not remove the radiator cap when engine is running or hot. The radia-
tor fluid is hot and under pressure, and can cause severe burns.
3.8 Disposal
Environment
The operating fluids in this machine, including fuel, engine oil, and grease,
may be considered hazardous waste in many areas. Responsible disposal
prevents toxic chemicals and materials from harming the environment. Fol-
low the product-related safety regulations SDS (Safety Data Sheet – MSDS).
All fluids, lubricants, materials, etc., used on the machine are subject to spe-
cific regulations regarding collection and disposal. Dispose of different mate-
rials and consumables separately and responsibly in accordance with envi-
ronmental protection legislation.
If the machine is no longer used according to its designated use, ensure it is
decommissioned or put out of operation and disposed of according to appli-
cable regulations.
• Follow all applicable safety regulations during machine disposal.
• Machine disposal must be performed in accordance with state-of-the-art
