3.1 SAFETY, MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
It is of utmost importance to maintain and service your machine to retain its performance level, safety functions, prevent breakdown and
of course protect the value of your investment. Before each ride, check your Alstor (please refer to the chapter on safety/daily inspection/
safety checks) and carefully follow the instructions in the service chart of this chapter. For all crane service and maintenance work, follow
the instructions in the separate crane instruction manual.
WARNING! Neglecting to maintain your machine according to our recommendations could present adirect danger.
Safety
Always carefully read the instruction manual prior to service and repair work.
Any modication that aects the performance and safety of the machine may only be carried out by Alstor AB or by personnel and dealers
duly authorised by Alstor AB.
Personal protective equipment must be worn when servicing the machine.
For daily inspection and safety checks, follow the instructions under the chapter “Safety checks/daily inspection” in the instruction manual.
All repairs and service work should be carried out by specially trained technicians.
Necessary safety precautions and care are of the utmost importance for any kind of service or repair work. It is impossible to warn about
all possible risks here, and we urge you to pay the utmost attention and leave such work to aprofessional with the necessary know-how
and tools to perform the work.
All maintenance, adjustments and replacement of parts, lubrication, lling of fuel and oil must be carried out when the machine is
stationary and secured against accidental starting and accidental movement, i.e. the ignition switch and main power switch are switched
o, the parking brake is applied and the machine is secured against movement or tipping over by parking it on level, rm ground, and by
parking the crane correctly and putting chocks under the wheels.
Make sure the engine is shut o before commencing service work. Carbon oxide/carbon monoxide is acolourless and odourless gas that
can impair the ability of the blood to transport oxygen causing fatigue and concentration diculties. The gas is extremely dangerous
in large amounts. This is why the engine must always be started and operated outdoors or inside premises with approved ventilation
equipment.
Risk of burns from hot engine parts and the exhaust system. Allow the parts to cool before touching them.
In the engine compartment, there is arisk of crushing and injuries from moving parts, including burns from hot engine parts. Only
perform troubleshooting with an open engine bonnet and with the engine running in exceptional circumstances. Exercise extreme
caution in relation to the above risks.
Before starting the machine, alert everyone working on the machine and any bystanders.
