Safety when servicing
This section deals with the safety rules that must be followed
when performing checks and service work. Volvo Construction
Equipment rejects all responsibility if other tools, lifting devices, or
work methods than those described in this publication are used.
Other safety rules, information and warning texts are given in
each section.
NOTE!
Lifting with a jack must only be performed by trained personnel.
DANGER
Risk of electrical shock.
Contact with electrically energised parts will cause personal
injury.
Disconnect the electrical engine heater before service and repair
work on the machine.
WARNING
Risk of burns!
Hot machine parts could cause burns.
Allow hot machine parts to cool before performing adjustments or
service. Wear personal protective equipment.
WARNING
Risk of high pressure injection.
Residual pressure in the brake system could lead to oil under high
pressure jetting out and cause serious injury, even if the engine
has not been running for some time.
Always release the pressure before any kind of service of the
brake system is carried out.
NOTICE
It is very important to keep the hydraulic system free from any
contaminants, as these can cause abnormal wear and may lead
to expensive downtime. Greatest possible cleanliness should be
maintained during all handling of hydraulic components and
hydraulic oil.
