10.1 General safety instructions for servicing and inspection
operating instructions
• Perform servicing and inspection work only if you have read and understood the operating instructions!
• Observe the general safety instructions and all warnings attached to the wheel loader.
• The operating instructions describe the work to be carried out. However, the description of work processes
only gives the necessary advice to experienced specialists!
• Keep the operating instructions with the wheel loader at all times!
Personnel
• The servicing and inspection personnel must have expertise in the servicing and inspection tasks to be
performed on the wheel loader.
• Only perform servicing and inspection works wearing appropriate working clothes and personal protective
equipment.
• Wear ear protection in the event of noise.
Securing the wheel loader and attachments
• Only perform servicing and inspection work if the wheel loader is secured as described in section 10.

• Caution, risk of injury! A raised lifting frame can suddenly lower and cause serious head injuries. If it is essential
to work beneath a raised lifting frame to carry out servicing and inspection work, the lifting frame must be
secured using a suitable support.
• Position attachments on the ground so that no movement can occur when loosening mechanical or hydraulic
connections.
• When working in the articulated area, secure the articulated joint with the jackknife guard.
• Secure equipment or components that are to be attached or removed, or their mounting position modified,
against unintentional movement, slipping or falling by means of suitable lifting gear, suspension or support
devices.
• Clean treads and handles from dirt to maintain a safe grip.
Tools
Only work with functioning and suitable hand tools.
Cleaning work
• Clean units in the working area before starting work. The choice of cleaning agent depends on the material of
the parts to be cleaned. Rubber and electrical components may not be cleaned with solvents or steam. Water
can cause short circuits in the electrical system and create new hazards. Do not use cleaning agents that
develop harmful or highly flammable vapors. Avoid skin contact with cleaning agents. Wear gloves.
Handling flammable liquids
• Do not smoke when handling flammable liquids and avoid fire or naked flames!
• Do not extinguish fires on the wheel loader or burning liquids with water! Use suitable extinguishing agents,
such as powder, carbon dioxide or foam fire extinguishers!
