Service and maintenance
Cab 149
Asbestos filter (optional equipment)
The filter is especially intended for use in environments where
there may be asbestos dust, but it is of course effective against all
other types of dust when the operator needs highly filtered air in
the cab.
The filter is approved according to standard DOP MIL 282, and
fulfils the requirements according to the Swedish Work Environment
Authority's regulations ''Asbestos'' AFS 1996:13. It also fulfils the
requirements according to EN 1822:1 filter class H13.
Pay attention to the national regulations regarding work in the
environment in question.
Advice for operating in environments where dust /
asbestos dust is present
Q Enter and leave the machine away from the asbestos-
contaminated area to avoid asbestos dust being brought into
the cab.
Q Keep clothes and shoes clean from dust as far as possible.
Q Tidy and vacuum-clean the cab often and use personal
protective equipment, for instance respirator (dust mask)
intended for asbestos contaminated areas.
Q The cab door must be closed. It is particularly important that the
tightness (the seals) of the cab is (are) preserved/maintained.
Q The cab should be ventilated using its ventilation system, which
also provides excess pressure in the cab.
Q Replace filters (main filter and prefilter) every 1000 hours or
more often when needed. Take care not to damage the new
filters. When installing check that the filter edge forms a tight
seal.
Q Handling of used filters must be done bearing the health hazard
and the environment in mind. Before the filters are discarded at
the place intended for asbestos waste, the filters must be
placed in the tight-sealing plastic bag which is supplied with all
new filters.
WARNING!
If it is dangerous dust, e.g. toxic or contains asbestos,
special measures must be taken to prevent the dust from
spreading further.
