AB16EJ Plus Operation Manual
IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
to be spilled on the ground.
• After maintenance is completed,
immediately wash off any hydraul-
ic oil that may have come into
contact with your skin.
• Waste hydraulic fluids, fuels,
coolants and refrigerants must be
recycled or disposed as per local
regulations.
High Temperature and High Pressure
Hazards
• High surface temperatures may
be present on some components
during the operation of the ma-
chine or after the machine has
been operating for some time.
High temperatures may cause
burns through skin contact. Do
not touch any hot parts!
• It is forbidden to repair or tighten
hydraulic hoses or seals while the
machine is operating or when the
oil system is under pressure.
• Before loosening or disassem-
bling hydraulic parts (especially
the counterbalance valve on the
cylinder), ensure that the hydraul-
ic pressure of all hydraulic lines is
released and that the hydraulic oil
is completely cooled down.
• Disassemble the hydraulic com-
ponents slowly to prevent hy-
draulic oil from splashing and
injuring people.
• Never check for hydraulic lea-
kages by hand. Use a piece of
cardboard or stiff paper to locate
leaks, and wear gloves to protect
your hands from spraying hy-
draulic fluid.
• Do not operate the machine in
case of hydraulic or air leaks. Oil
or air leakage from the hydraulic
system may penetrate and burn
the skin.
• Never plug hydraulic leaks by
hand. If there is a leak, the pres-
sure of the hydraulic system
should be released first, mainte-
nance/repair should be carried
out after the hydraulic oil has
cooled down.
• If injury occurs due to high tem-
perature and/or high pressure,
seek immediate medical attention.
If treatment is not carried out im-
mediately, serious complications
may result.
