Safety when servicing
96 Before service, read
Before service, read
Prevent personal injuries
Q Read the Operator's Manual before beginning any service
work. It is also important to read and follow the information and
instructions given on plates and decals.
Q Do not wear loose-fitting clothes or jewellery, which may get
caught and lead to injury.
Q Always wear a hard hat, safety glasses, gloves, protective
shoes and other protective articles when the work so requires.
Q Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation when starting the
engine indoors.
Q Do not stand in front of or behind the machine while the engine
is running.
Q If service has to be performed with the dump body up, secure
it with the dump body lock or the dump body support, see page
100. Lock the tipping control with the lock-out control.
IMPORTANT! Always lean in under the dump body from one
side when the dump body lock is to be locked or unlocked.
Q Stop the engine before opening engine hood, radiator casings, and
similar covers.
Q When the engine has been stopped, there is still accumulated
pressure in the pressurised systems. If a system is opened without first
releasing all pressure, liquid under high pressure will jet out.
Q When looking for possible leaks, use a piece of paper or stiff board,
not your hand.
Q Make sure that stepping surfaces, handholds, and slip protected
surfaces are free from oil, diesel fuel, dirt and ice. Never step on
surfaces on the machine that are not intended for this.
Q It is important that correct tools and equipment are used. Defective
tools or defective equipment must be repaired or replaced.
Prevent machine damage
Q When lifting or supporting the machine or parts of the machine,
make sure that the equipment you are using has sufficient lifting
capacity.
Q Lifting devices, tools, working methods, lubricants and spare
parts prescribed in the Operator's Manual must be used.
Volvo CE will not accept any responsibility if this is not followed.
Q Make sure that no tools or other objects, which may cause
damage, are left inside or on the machine.
Q Release the pressure in the hydraulic system before beginning
service work.
Q Never adjust a reducing valve to a higher pressure than what is
recommended by the manufacturer.
Q Machines, which are used within a contaminated or in any other
way unhealthy area, must be equipped for such work. Special
safety regulations apply when servicing such a machine.
Q When installing two-way radio, mobile telephone or similar
equipment, the installation must be carried out according to the
instructions from the manufacturer in order to eliminate
interference with the electronic system and components
intended for the function of the machine, see page 10.
Q Measures during electric welding, see page 130.
Q Make sure that all covers on the machine are in position before
starting the engine and putting the machine to work.
