3.1.4 - WARNINGS FOR CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE
Apply a “DO NOT START THE ENGINE” sign to the machine. Remove the keys from the ignition before
carrying out checks or maintenance work and delimit the area (for example with road cones).
3.1.5 - CHECKING THE MACHINE
• Carefully inspect the machine every day before use, following the checklist given in this manual.
• Start the engine only in well ventilated areas and make sure that there are no people within the operating
range of the machine.
• Covers and safety elements must not be removed. They are designed and built for your safety.
• Do not use the machine if the protective devices or covers are damaged or missing.
• After cleaning or repair the protective devices must be reapplied immediately.
• Keep the machine and all its accessories clean and in good working order at all times.
• It is strictly forbidden to make changes to the machine without prior authorisation from the manufacturer.
Changes to the machine can in fact cause hazards and injuries. If these instructions are not observed,
the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for the machine.
• Only refuel when the machine is switched off, if possible before having turned it on, and when the fuel
tank is cold. If you need to refuel whilst work is in progress, do not add fuel to the tank if the tank is hot or
if the engine is still warm. Allow the machine to cool down.
DANGER OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
During normal daily maintenance do not clean with high pressure water (pressure
washer) electrical components, such as:
• Receiver unit and remote control;
• Fuse box and relays;
• Engine control unit and the machine ECUs;
Apply a guard or cover with appropriate means before washing so as to isolate the
electrical components.
Range of action means an area that should be free of people, as it could be hazardous. To this
end, also consider what is indicated in the manuals of the individual pieces of equipment and the
different operating modes used.
