40 Measures before operation
Measures before operation
1 Before taking the machine into operation you should become
familiar with the location and function of all gauges and control
elements. You should therefore thoroughly read these opera-
ting instructions. Your personal safety is concerned!
2 Before starting the engine walk around the machine and check
for any leaks and damaged or loose parts which could cause
damage.
3 Perform the daily maintenance according to the lubrication and
maintenance plan. Apart from that check or perform the follo-
wing points.
– Fuel level in fuel level (check only with ignition switch in
running position ("position 2")).
– Engine oil level
– Hydraulic oil level
– Coolant level
4 Clean warning and information decals, hand grips and access
steps.
5 Check that the battery disconnect switch (option) is switched
on.
Additional measures under cold weather conditions
– Make sure that the recommended minimum temperature of the
coolant complies with the weather conditions.
After operation
– The fuel tank should be filled at the end of each work day. This
prevents the formation of condensation water, as far as pos-
sible.
– The fuel tank should never be "run dry". Fill in only clean fuel!
Maintenance
IMPORTANT! Keep the machine operational and clean. This
preserves the reliability and a fully functional and clean
machine is less susceptible for injuring the driver or dama-
ging the environment.
Q Inspect the machine before starting the working day. Make sure
that any damage is repaired immediately, that possible leaks
are sealed and that the necessary guards and safety installa-
tions are correctly in place.
Q Keep cab floor and access points free of clay, grease or loose
objects, which could be a source for slipping or stumbling.
