SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
local or national safety regulations. Metal cables pro-
duce steel splinters. Always wear certified protection
clothes such as safety gloves and glasses while han-
dling them.
Handle all parts carefully. Keep hands and fingers
away from gaps, gears, and similar. Always use and
wear certified safety clothes such as safety glasses,
gloves and footwear.
The attachment is kept constantly in position by an oil
column trapped into the high pressure circuit. Lower
the attachment to the ground and relieve pressure from
all circuits prior to carrying out any type of maintenance
or repair work.
Do not service or repair the machine if it is parked
downhill. Consult the Operation and Maintenance In-
struction Manual for correct maintenance procedure.
Areas near articulated cutting edges where mechani-
cal parts are in motion are where personal injuries are
most likely to occur. Pay attention to prevent possible
part movements by means of blocks or by keeping clear
of such zones when motion may take place during
maintenance or repair.
Move the hydraulic system lock safety lever to the lock
position when stopping the machine for whatever rea-
son.
Always install the safety stays for the hood and other
hinged covers before performing any maintenance or
repair work in the engine compartment.
TRANSFERS AND TRANSPORTATION
Before moving or transporting the machine, block it to
prevent accidental movement.
Pay particular attention during transfer on inclines,
both uphill and downhill.
Do not travel across the slope.
Never transfer the machine in the working site, in a
crowded area, or near people without having at least
one person charged with hand-signals who could guide
the Operator.
Sound the horn to inform that you are about to move off.
It is necessary to know load limits of bridges and
dimensional limits of tunnels. Such limits must never be
exceeded. You should also know machine height,
width, and weight. Have a signal-man help you when
clearances are limited.
Check dimensional limits during transfer or
transportation. Rough terrain may cause the machine
to sway and roll. Cross obstacles at a right angle at low
speed. Pay attention to machine shaking when the
centre of gravity overcomes the obstacle.
Drive with the lights on and use appropriate signals and
flags.
Get to know and respect local and national regulations.
Consider machine dimensions while turning.
Use a ramp to load the machine on a trailer. If a ramp
is not available, fabricate one using blocks. The ramp
should be sufficiently strong to support machine weight.
Always load and unload on level surface.
Tow the machine following the instructions contained in
the Operation and Maintenance Instruction Manual.
ENGINE
Do not run the engine in closed buildings without proper
ventilation capable to remove harmful exhaust fumes.
Do not place head, body, limbs, feet, hands or fingers
near rotating fans or belts. Be especially careful near
blower fans.
Loosen the radiator cap very slowly to relieve system
pressure before removing it. Always top-up coolant
level with the engine off or idling if hot. See the Operation
and Maintenance Instruction Manual.
Keep the exhaust manifold and tube free from combus-
tible matters. Fit the machine with shields and guards
when working in the presence of combustible matter free
in the air.
Do not refuel with the engine running, especially if hot,
as this increases fire hazard in case of fuel spillage.
Never attempt to check or adjust fan belt tensions when
the engine is running.
Do not adjust the fuel injection pump when the machine
is operating.
Do not lubricate the machine with the engine running. Do
not run the engine with the air intakes open and not
protected. If this cannot be avoided for service reasons,
place protection meshes on all intakes before servicing
the engine.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Pay attention to connect connecting cables to correct
poles (+ to +) and (- to -) at both ends. Do not short-circuit
terminals. Thoroughly follow instructions given in Ope-
ration and Maintenance Instruction Manual.
Always move the key-start switch in the lock position
before servicing or repairing the machine.
Batteries contain SULPHURIC ACID. Protect the eyes
when working near the batteries against possible sprays
of the acid solution. Should acid contact skin, eyes, or
clothes, RINSE IMMEDIATELY IN WATER FOR AT
LEAST 15 MINUTES. Immediately seek medical
attention.
Battery released gas is highly flammable. Leave the
battery compartment cover open during recharging to
improve ventilation. Never check battery charge by
placing metal objects across the posts. Keep sparks or
open flames away from batteries. Do not smoke near the
battery to prevent explosion hazard.
Before any maintenance or repair, make sure that there
are no fuel or electrolyte leaks from the batteries. If any,
correct prior to proceeding with further work. Do not
recharge batteries in confined spaces. Ensure proper
ventilation is provided to avoid accidental explosions
due to build-up of explosive gas released during char-
ging.
