SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Disconnect batteries before working on the electrical
system or carrying out any other type of work.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Pressure fluid escaping from a very small hole can be
almost invisible and still have sufficient force to pene-
trate the skin. Always check any suspected pressure
leaks using a piece of cardboard or wood. Do not use
hands. If injured by escaping fluid, obtain medical
attention immediately or serious infection or reaction
may develop.
Stop the engine and ensure pressure is relieved from
all systems before removing side panels, housings,
guards and covers. See the Operation and Maintenan-
ce Instruction Manual.
Always use gauges of adequate capacity for pressure
testing. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance In-
struction Manual or Repair Manual.
TOOLS
Always keep head, body, limbs, feet, hands, and fingers
away from the bucket and attachments, when in the
raised position.
Prior to any maintenance or repair work, install all
supports necessary to this aim according to local and
national safety regulations.
In case the attachment is to be operated for maintenan-
ce or repair purposes, do so exclusively while sitting in
the driver’s seat. Sound the horn before starting the
machine or moving the attachment. Require that nobo-
dy remain near the machine. Raise the attachment
slowly.
Do not use the machine to transport loose objects,
unless proper securing devices are provided.
TYRES AND WHEELS
Make sure that the inflation pressure of the tyres is
according to the specifications issued by the Manu-
facturer and check it periodically.
Should the pressure be changed, stand on the side of
the tyre at a safe distance.
Pressure check operations must be performed with
unloaded machine and cold tyres.
Never use reconditioned tyre rims, since eventual wel-
dings, heat-treatments or repairs not performed cor-
rectly can weaken the wheel, thus causing subsequent
damages or dangers.
Do not perform torch cutting or welding operations on
rims with tyres installed.
Spare tyres must be inflated only as far it is necessary
to keep the rim components assembled; remember that
when not installed on the disc, a tyre inflated to maximum
pressure can explode.
Before operating on tyres, block all wheels, front and
rear. After lifting the machine with the cylinders, block it
with stands according to current safety rules and regu-
lations.
Deflate the tyres before removing them.
Before removing objects from the tyre tread, deflate it.
Do not inflate tyres with flammable gas: they may cause
explosions and serious personal injuries.
