Maintenance is best carried out indoors and at the end of the
working day so that all oils are hot and can be easily drained off.
Before starting any maintenance work whatsoever, switch
off the engine; remove the key from the ignition, position
wedges under the wheels and appropriate locks on the
hydraulic cylinders.
Before using a greasing gun, clean its ttings.
Before removing the drain and fuel caps, clean the surrounding areas.
Always use a clean container to collect used oil and diesel fuel.
- CAUTION -
IF THE MACHINE IS USED IN CRITICAL ENVIRON-
MENTS (WHERE THERE IS DUST, MUD OR SAND) THE
MAINTENANCE PERIOD MUST BE REDUCED BY 50%.
Safety regulations during maintenance
When changing the oil, it is important to comply with certain
basic rules for personal hygiene. Wear protective clothing,
overalls, PVC gloves, etc. Once the oil has been changed,
wash away any dirty oil you may have come into contact
with using soap and water. Any clothing soiled by the oil
must be removed and cleaned.
Prolonged contact with oil can have a toxic effect on your health.
Therefore, it is important to comply with the instructions pro-
vided above.
- Keep hands, tools and clothing well away from moving parts.
- Do not touch the pipe and exhaust manifold; they could
be hot and cause burns.
- Do not allow inexperienced people to approach the machine.
- Do not work underneath the machine with a jack as your
only means of support.
- Also use stands to support the machine as a safety measure.
Environment protection
It is illegal to pollute sewers, waterways or the soil. Use only
authorised collection centres, including the areas designa-
ted by the local authorities or workshops equipped with the
necessary tools for the disposal of used oils. If in doubt, con-
tact your local authority for relevant instructions.
