Safety Guidelines for Maintenance
• A volatile oxyhydrogen mixture forms in batteries during normal operation and
especially when charging. Always wear gloves and eye protection when working with
batteries.
• Starting the machine with a battery jumper cable can be dangerous if carried out
improperly. Observe the safety instructions regarding the battery.
Chains (Track dumpers) • Repair work on the chains must be carried out only by trained technical staff or by an
authorized workshop.
• Defective chains reduce the machine’s operational safety. Therefore, check the chains
regularly for cracks, cuts or other damage.
• Check chain tension at regular intervals.
Electric energy • Use only original fuses with the specified current rating.
• In case of electrical system malfunctions, switch off the machine immediately,
disconnect the battery (by using the battery master switch), and carry out trouble-
shooting procedures.
• When working with the machine, maintain a safe distance from overhead electric lines!
If work must be carried out close to overhead lines, the equipment and attachments
must be kept well away from them.
• If the machine comes into contact with a live wire:
• Immediately drive the machine out of the danger area.
• Warn others against approaching and touching the machine.
• Do not leave the machine until the line that has been touched or damaged has been
safely de-energized!
• Make sure that work on the electric system is carried out only by a technician with
appropriate training, in accordance with applicable electrical engineering codes.
• Inspect and check the electrical equipment of the machine at regular intervals. Defects
such as loose connections or scorched cables must be repaired immediately.
• Observe the operating voltage of the machine/attachments.
• Always remove the grounding strap from the battery when working on the electric
system.
Hydraulics
• Check all lines, hoses, and screwed connections regularly for leaks and obvious
damage. Repair any damage and leaks immediately. Splashed oil can cause injury and
fire!
Noise
• Close all sound baffles during operation.
• Wear ear protection. This is especially important when performing hammer operations
or working in enclosed areas.
MSDS
• When handling oil, grease, and other chemical substances such as battery electrolyte
or hydraulic fluid, observe the product-related safety regulations (Material Safety Data
Sheet: MSDS).
Tires (Wheel dumpers)
• Repair work on the tires must be carried out only by trained technical staff or by an
authorized workshop.
• Defective tires reduce the machine’s operational safety. Therefore, check the tires
regularly for cracks, cuts or other damage.
• Check the tire pressure at regular intervals.
