SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
Respect the maintenance intervals by checking the
hourmeter every day. Before starting maintenance,
park the machine on flat, firm ground, away from any
obstacles, with the arm retracted and the bucket on
the ground. Unless otherwise specified, all
maintenance operations must be carried out with the
engine stopped, and the key removed from the
starter switch. It is preferable to wait for all circuits to
cool down before starting work.
Clean the grease fittings before lubrication. Clean
around plugs and filler holes before adding fluid. No
dust or dirt must enter the components or the circuits.
Wear suitable clothing and remember to use the
necessary safety equipment.
When carrying out service work on the machine,
place a Do Not Operate tag on the instrument panel.
Never climb down from the operator's compartment
leaving the engine running.
Any modification to this machine without prior
authorization could cause serious injury. Do not
make any modifications without authorization.
Consult your Dealer.
IMPORTANT: If you use your machine in particularly
harsh conditions (dusty or corrosive atmosphere,
etc.), the servicing intervals should be reduced
accordingly.
IMPORTANT: Take particular care to replace all
filters regularly. Clean filters mean longer engine
running life.
IMPORTANT: Oil and fluid should not be thrown on
the ground. They must be stored and removed by a
company which is responsible for their recycling or
their disposal.
SERVICE SPECIFICATIONS
Intervals between overhauls are much more frequent
for the following applications: construction of tunnels
using a hydraulic breaker, scale stripping, foundry
cleaning, operation under water etc. For special
applications consult your Dealer.
