Only personnel trained in servicing and repairing this type of truck are

3.1 Safety while working
To ensure that you work safely and to prevent accidents while working
on a truck, remember the following:
• keep the area where servicing activities are performed clean. Oil or
water will make the floor slippery.
• use the correct working position. Service activities often involve
kneeling or bending forward. Try sitting on a toolbox, for example, to
relieve the strain on your knees and back.
• loose articles and jewellery may become trapped in the moving parts
of the truck. So never wear loose articles or jewellery while working
on the truck.
• use the correct tools for the work you are carrying out.
• keep all tools well maintained.
• store and transport old oil according to applicable local regulations.
• do not flush solvents, etc. down the drain unless they are intended to
be disposed of in this way.
Follow the local disposal regulations.
• heated paint gives off harmful gases. So use sanding or a paint strip-
per to remove the paint at least 100 mm around an area where any
welding/grinding is to take place.
