8.10 Safety rules during maintenance
THE NON-OBSERVANCE OF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING
SAFETY RULES CAN SERIOUSLY HARM PEOPLE OR CAUSE
SEVERE DAMAGES TO THINGS OR PARTS OF THE MACHINE.
➔ To ensure the safety of the machine the use of original spare parts
installed by C.M.C. or by authorized repair shops is compulsory:
in fact, some components can be calibrated only c/or C.M.C. or in au-
thorized workshops.
It is forbidden to perform maintenance operations when the
MEWP moves: make sure that the parts to maintain are motionless
and do these operations with the chassis power stalled, taking the
keys away from the panel;
➔ Perform the maintenance operations in a sufficiently large space and
suited to the sizes of the truck: mark the area assigned for the mainte-
nance operations by suited enclosure or by a red/white band ribbon
and do not allow entrance to unauthorized staff.
➔ Do not modify or remove safety devices.
➔ Do not modify calibrated pieces.
➔ During the washing operation, do not lead the water jet directly on the
electrical panels of the MEWP and do not use cleansing, aggressive
chemicals dangerous for the components of the MEWP (rubber parts,
painted parts, etc.).
It is forbidden to perform any intervention on parts of the
MEWP, such as welding, piercing, and so on, without prior written
authorization by C.M.C.
➔ Wear appropriate protective clothes (gloves, goggles, etc.).
➔ During maintenance operations, be careful not to damage the hydrau-
lic circuit and avoid impurities in the circuit.
➔ Before any maintenance operation that involves the disassembly of
hydraulic circuit parts, make sure that the system is not under pres-
sure. In order to avoid violent emissions of oil, move all the levers of
the control distributors, with the MEWP engine stalled and no compo-
nent in movement.
