3.19 Conversions, maintenance and repairs
The machine must only be converted, maintained or repaired under the
guidance of a suitable person designated by the plant operator and following the
manufacturer’s Operating Instructions.
After changing the work attachments convince yourself of the correct
fastening of the work attachments.
Work on e. g.
• brake systems,
• steering systems,
• hydraulic systems,
• electric systems
of the machine is only to be carried out by expert personnel specially trained in
these areas.
Stability must be ensured during all type of work on the machine at all times.
Always secure the machine with wheel chocks against rolling when working
on or especially under the machine.
Secure the work equipment against movement by lowering it to the ground or
by applying equivalent measures, e. g. cylinder supports, trestles.
As long as the engine is running, the unprotected working range must not be
entered.
Attach the lifting gear for jacking up the machine so that it cannot slip off.
Make sure that the jacks are placed exactly vertically.
The raised machine must be supported with suitable structures, e. g.
crosswise stacked planks, square timbers or steel trusses.
Stabilize the machine that has been lifted with the work equipment,
immediately after lifting with a supporting structure. Work under raised
machines which are only supported by their hydraulics is forbidden.
Shut down the engine before any maintenance and repair work. These
requirements may only be ignored in the case of maintenance or repair work
which cannot be performed without the engine/motor(s) running.
Always depressurize the hydraulic system before starting corresponding
maintenance and repair work. With the engine turned off, lower the work
equipment to the ground and actuate all hydraulic control levers until there is
no more pressure in the hydraulic system.
Before starting work in the electric system or for welding work on the machine
disconnect the battery connection.
When disconnecting the battery disconnect the minus pole first and the plus
pole after. Reconnect in reverse order.
