2.3 During maintenance
• Park the machine on hard level terrain, lower all tools and stop the engine.
• Always keep first aid equipment and a fire extinguisher near the maintenance area.
• If you are working underneath a raised bonnet/platform body, support it mechanically in the upper position.
• Take into account that there may be residual pressure in the hydraulics system after the engine has stopped.
• If you disconnect hydraulic parts, first ensure that the oil has cooled down sufficiently to prevent burns.
• Open the connections carefully so that the oil does not discharge forcefully.
• Before maintaining the engine, exhaust piping, radiator or hydraulics, let the machine cool down completely.
• Always stop the engine before refueling. Avoid splashing and over filling.
• Do not smoke during refueling and battery maintenance! Ensure that no spark or naked flame gets near the fuel tank or
battery. The battery releases flammable gas, especially during charging.
• Read “5.3.4 Using an auxiliary battery” on page 44 before using auxiliary batteries in connection with start‐up.
• Do not place metal objects on top of the battery terminals.
• Prevent short circuits and sparking, always disconnect the negative battery cable first and connect the positive cable
first.
• Do not open the radiator cap before the liquid has cooled down. Unscrew the cap carefully and let the pressure
discharge slowly.
WARNING
A needle‐sharp discharging hydraulic oil jet may be invisible and
penetrate clothes and skin causing severe damage.
Never check for leaks with your hands. Use a piece of cardboard instead, for example. Wear a face mask and work
gloves. If oil gets under your skin, seek medical attention immediately. Oil may cause necrosis, serious infection and
allergic reactions.
• The battery and its acid contain heavy metals. Dispose of batteries according to the regulations in effect.
• Observe all valid laws and regulations when disposing of oils, antifreeze, solvents, batteries and battery acid.
• Wear a face mask and safety goggles to protect your eyes and respiratory organs against dust and other particles.
• Never go underneath the machine until you are absolutely sure that it will stay in the raised position. Always use
appropriate trestles or other reliable support systems.
• Do not lift the rolling rear axle from the middle (axle‐equipped machines).
2.4 Labels and plates
• Follow all the instructions on the labels attached to the machine.
• Keep the labels and plates clean and in readable condition.
• Clean the labels with soap and water, dry with a soft cloth.
• Replace damaged or worn labels with new ones.
• If you replace a component that carries a label, ensure that a new label is positioned in the same place.
• Stick new labels on a dry, clean and greaseless surface. The minimum temperature requirement is +10 °C.
