3.15 Fuels, lubricants and coolants
Conscientiously following the requirements for lubrication, level checks and changing fuels, lubri-
cants and coolants will increase the reliability and service life of the machine.
It is particularly important to perform the various oil changes regularly and at the recommended
intervals, as well as to observe the specified lubricant qualities.
Serious injury due to incorrect handling of fuels, lubricants and
coolants and unsafe machine statuses
• Unless specified otherwise, all jobs on the loading machine must be
performed on an even, solid surface and with the diesel engine
turned off.
• Before performing any task in the engine compartment, always se-
cure the cover and side doors to stop them falling back or closing in-
advertently.
• Always turn the diesel engine off before refueling the machine. Do
not smoke and avoid naked flames when refueling.
• Turn off the battery isolator switch and remove the ignition key.
In an emergency: Administer first aid, seek treatment from a doctor
Cleanliness is very important when changing engine oil, transmission oil or hydraulic fluid. Before
removing screw couplings or filling covers clean them and the area around them.
Also clean filling and drain plugs when changing oil.
If possible, oil should always be drained out at operating temperature.
Collect old oil and dispose of it, along with discarded oil filter cartridges,
in an environmentally friendly manner.
Instructions for reducing contamination of hydraulic fluid in work and dust-intensive appli-
cations
If the loading machine is generally operated with a hydraulic hammer or under difficult conditions
(frequent changing of work equipment, surroundings exposed to dust), there is a risk of increased
contamination of the hydraulic fluid.
To avoid resulting premature wear of hydraulic components, reduce the time between oil changes
(or reduce the time between taking oil samples).
We recommend using a filter system for tools as an option in such cases.
