1 - GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
5
16. Before operating the equipment make sure there is
nobody on the machine or close by. Starting up of
the machine must always be announced with an
audible alarm, also after any pause in operation
before the equipment is restarted. Those present
on the machine and dangerously close by must
leave the machine after the alarm has been
sounded.
17. Do not adjust moving equipment.
18. When working (adjusting) on a running engine,
avoid touching hot and rotating parts. During work
on a running engine, another person must be
present that can easily access the emergency
switch and must be in contact at all times with the
person performing the adjustment, to be able to
switch off the engine immediately when necessary.
19. Use only approved makes of motor, gear and
hydraulic oil and coolant.
WORKING ON HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS
1. Make sure that no hydraulic circuit is under pres-
sure before opening it. Hydraulic oil leaks under
pressure may penetrate your skin and cause seri-
ous injury.
2. Mark all parts, hoses and pipes before removing
them.
3. Do not operate hydraulic pumps and hydraulic
motors without oil.
4. There is danger of being scalded when handling
hot oil.
5. Do not warm oil to temperatures above 160°C
(320°F), oil or its fumes may ignite.
6. For cleaning and wiping hydraulic parts use lint
free material.
7. When reassembling parts use hydraulic oil, not
grease, as a lubricant.
8. Clean screws and bolts carefully before installa-
tion, wash hoses and pipes and blow through them
using compressed air.
9. Always use new seals and packing in sealing
areas during re-installation.
10. Fill new components with hydraulic oil before
installation.
11. Rinse the hydraulic circuit after replacing a hydrau-
lic component; clean the hydraulic reservoir as
well.
12. Replace the oil filter cartridge.
13. Fill the hydraulic circuit with clean oil of the recom-
mended viscosity, but only when the engine has
been stopped.
14. Wipe off excess oil.
15. Check connections for tightness and any oil leaks,
before applying pressure to the system.
16. Do not adjust safety valves.
17. After all work has been finished, recheck all con-
nections and replace all safety items.
18. After finishing the work put all protective devices
back in place.
19. After putting the machine into operation.
• Check the level in the hydraulic reservoir.
• Check the output pressure of hydraulic pumps if
they have been replaced as well as safety valve
pressure. Carry out the measurements at a tem-
perature of 40°C (104°F).
WORKING ON THE FUEL SYSTEM
Mixtures of gasoline and diesel (winter fuel) are as
inflammable as gasoline.
1. Do not refuel in closed areas.
2. Wipe off excess fuel.
3. Do not smoke when working on the fuel system
and do not use open frames. There is a danger
of fire.
