and the visual analysis of components is made
more difficult. Thoroughly clean the vehicle or
equipment before every operation.
• Make sure about the maintenance procedures
before starting the work.
• Keep the work area clean and dry.
• Replace worn or faulty components.
• Eliminate accumulations of grease oil and debris.
• The knurled plates (bulb plates) and the cab floor
are the only parts of the vehicle that can be
stepped on. Use a ladder (suitable for the
intended purpose) for maintenance of parts that
cannot be reached from the ground.
DANGER
Do not carry out any maintenance
operation with running engine or moving
vehicle.
Should maintenance need to be performed with
the engine running, ask at least two workers for
help and observe the following instructions:
• One worker must always be seated in the driver's
seat, ready to switch off the engine at any time.
• All workers must remain in contact with one
another.
• Take care not to remain entrapped in
components during the execution of operations
performed on the fan, fan belt or other rotating
parts.
• Do not touch levers or control pedals. Should a
lever or pedal need to be moved, always warn
operators first so they can move out of the
dangerous area.
• Do allow instruments or other objects to fall into
the vehicle rotating parts, as these parts may
break and be projected out.
• The vehicle must be outdoors when the engine is
running. The vehicle can be kept in a closed area
only if it is properly ventilated and the vehicle is
equipped with specific purifiers.
WARNING
In the case of operations to be performed
by holding the boom raised, install the
safety rod on the boom shaft.
If you need to perform repair or maintenance
work under the vehicle, firmly support the
movable parts with blocks and supports that are
solid enough to support the weight.
• Store attachments removed from the vehicle in a
safe place where they do not risk falling. Take
precautions to prevent unauthorized persons
from approaching the storage area.
DANGER
Do not rest metal parts on the battery.
DANGER
Danger of entanglement.
Damage may be caused by entanglement in
moving parts. To prevent accidents it is
compulsory to wear proper safety equipment for
maintenance.
DANGER
Exhaust gas danger
Exhaust engine gases are toxic and can damage
your health.
The vehicle must be outdoors when the engine is
running.
The vehicle can be kept in a closed area only if it
is properly ventilated and the vehicle is equipped
with specific purifiers.
DANGER
Pressurized liquids danger
After operation, the engine cooling liquid is hot
and under pressure. Contact with hot water and/
or steam may cause serious burns.
• Do not attempt to loosen connections, tubes or
hydraulic components when circuits are under
pressure.
• Avoid possible injury caused by hot water jets.
• Do not remove the radiator cap until the engine
has cooled down.
• Before removing the cap, release all of the
pressure.
• Prevent burns caused by oil or other hot parts
during inspection or discharge by allowing the oil
and cap to cool down before beginning
operation.
• Even after the oil has cooled down, slightly
loosen the cover or cap before removing it to
mitigate pressure inside.
