SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Use lifting eyes provided to this aim. Pay attention to
bystanders near the lifting area.
Never pour gasoline or diesel fuel into an open con-
tainer.
Never use gasoline, solvents or other flammable flu-
ids to clean parts. Use only proprietary certified sol-
vents, non-flammable and non-toxic.
When using compressed air to clean parts, wear
safety glasses with side shields. Limit pressure to
max. 2 bars, in accordance with local and national
safety regulations in force.
Do not run the engine of this machine in closed build-
ings without proper forced ventilation capable to re-
move toxic exhaust gases concentrating in the air.
Do not smoke, nor allow open flames or sparks near-
by while refuelling the unit or handling highly flamma-
ble materials.
Do not use open flames as light sources to look for
leaks or inspect anywhere on the machine.
Make sure that all mechanical tools provided are in
good condition at all times. Never use tools with
mushroomed or damaged heads. Always wear eye
protections with side shields.
Move with extreme care when working under, on or
near the machine or its attachments.
In case of attachment tests during which the engine
should be kept running, a qualified operator must sit
in the driver’s seat at all times while the mechanic is
at work. Keep hands and clothes far OFF moving
parts.
Stop the engine and move the safey lever to the lock
position before starting adjusting or repairing an as-
sembly.
Do not carry out any work on the attachment without
prior authorisation. Observe recommended mainte-
nance and repair procedures.
In case of field service, move the machine to level
ground and block it. If work on an incline cannot be
avoided, securely block the machine and its attach-
ments. Move the machine to level ground as soon as
possible.
Do not twist chains and cables. Never use a twisted
chain or cable for lifting or pulling. Always wear safety
gloves to handle chains or cables.
Be sure chains and cables are firmly fastened and
that the anchor point is strong enough to withstand
the expected load. Keep all bystanders clear of the
anchor point, cables or chains. Do not pull or tow
unless the operator’s compartments of the ma-
chines involved are fitted with proper guards
against cable or chain backlash.
Keep the maintenance area clean and dry at all times.
Clean immediately all water and oil spillage.
Do not pile up oily or greasy rags. They represent a
major fire hazard. Always store them in closed metal
containers.
Before starting the machine or its attachment, check,
adjust and lock the operator’s seat. Also ensure that
nobody is within the machine or attachment operating
range before starting or operating the machine and/or
its attachments. Sound horn.
Rust inhibitors are volatile and flammable. Prepare
parts in well ventilated areas. Keep open flames
away. Do not smoke. Store containers in a cool well
ventilated place where they could not be reached by
unauthorised people.
Do not carry loose objects in your pockets that might
fall unnoticed into open compartments.
Wear appropriate safety clothing such as hard hat,
safety shoes and gloves, safety glasses when splin-
ters or other particles may be ejected.
Wear the appropriate welder’s equipment such as
dark safety glasses or mask, hard hat, protective
clothing, safety gloves and footwear always while
welding or arc-cutting. Wear dark safety glasses
when you are near a welding in progress. Do not
look the welding arc without proper eye protec-
tion.
Become acquainted with all your jacking equipment
and their capacity. Ensure that the jacking point on
the machine is appropriate for the load applied. Also,
be sure the supports under the jack and between the
jack and the machine are appropriate and stable. Any
equipment supported by a jack represents a possible
hazard. Always support the load onto appropriate
blocking means as a safety measure before proceed-
ing with service or maintenance work, in compliance
with local or national safety regulations.
Metal cables produce steel splinters. Always wear
certified protection clothes such as safety gloves and
glasses while handling them.
Handle all parts with great care. Keep hands and fin-
gers 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 main-
tenance 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 pos-
sible 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
reason.
Always install the safety stays for the hood and other
hinged covers before performing any maintenance or
repair work in the engine compartment.
