Safety Guidelines for Maintenance
• Do not use starting fluid (for example, ether), especially in those cases in which a
heater plug (intake air pre-heating) is used at the same time.
Preparing for maintenance and repair
work
• Prior to carrying out repair and maintenance work, always attach a warning label such
as “Repair work—do not start machine!” to the control elements as a precautionary
measure.
• Observe the startup and shutdown procedures set forth in this Operator’s Manual. This
applies to any work concerning the operation, conversion or adjustment of the machine
and its safety-oriented devices, or any work related to inspection and maintenance.
• Prior to carrying out assembly work on the machine, make sure no movable parts will
roll away or start moving.
• Carry out maintenance work ONLY if:
• the machine is positioned on firm and level ground
• secured against unintentional movement
• all hydraulically movable attachments and working equipment have been lowered to
the ground
• if the engine is switched off
• if the ignition key has been removed
• the pressure accumulator is empty
• Carry out maintenance work beneath a raised machine, attachments or additional
equipment ONLY if a safe and secure support has been provided. The use of hydraulic
rams or jacks as the sole method of support does NOT sufficiently secure raised
machines or equipment/attachments!
Performing maintenance and repairs • Observe the adjustment, maintenance and inspection activities and intervals set forth in
this Operator’s Manual, including information on the replacement of parts and partial
equipment. These activities must be carried out only by qualified personnel.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal when working on the electrical system.
• Do not allow the machine to be serviced, repaired, or test-driven by unauthorized staff.
• If maintenance with the engine running cannot be avoided, lower the skip and apply the
parking brake.
• Wear a safety harness when performing elevated maintenance work. Keep all handles,
steps, handrails, platforms, landings, and ladders free from dirt, snow and ice.
• Always use specially designed or otherwise safety-oriented ladders and working
platforms to carry out overhead assembly work. NEVER use machine parts or attach-
ments/superstructures as a climbing aid!
• Do not use the work equipment as lifting platforms for persons.
• In accordance with this Operator’s Manual and instructions for the respective assembly,
release the pressure in all system sections and pressure lines (hydraulic system)
before carrying out any maintenance work.
2.1 Special Hazards
Battery • In case of a frozen battery or of an insufficient electrolyte level, do not try starting the
machine with battery jumper cables. The battery can burst or explode.
• Batteries contain caustic sulphuric acid. When handling the battery, observe the
specific safety instructions and regulations relative to accident prevention.
