Safety instructions
• Before cleaning the machine with water, steam jet (high-pressure cleaner) or deter-
gents, cover or tape up all openings which – for safety and functional reasons – must
be protected against water, steam or detergent penetration. Special care must be taken
with the electrical system.
• When cleaning with high-pressure cleaners, keep a minimum distance of 1 m (40 in)
between insulating mats and the nozzle of the high-pressure cleaner.
Insulating mats may be damaged if the nozzle is held closer.
• After cleaning, remove all covers and tapes applied for that purpose.
• After cleaning, examine all fuel, lubricant and hydraulic oil lines for leaks, chafe marks
and damage.
Rectify all defects without delay.
• Always tighten any threaded fittings that have been loosened during maintenance and
repair.
• Any safety devices removed for set-up, maintenance or repair purposes must be
refitted and checked immediately upon completion of the maintenance and repair work.
• Ensure that all consumables and replaced parts are disposed of safely and with
minimum environmental impact.
• Do not use the work equipment as lifting platforms for persons.
• Before taking up work on machine parts dangerous for life and limb (bruising, cutting),
always ensure safe blocking/support of these areas.
• Perform maintenance and repair work beneath a raised machine, attachments or
additional equipment only if a safe and secure support has been provided for (the sole
use of hydraulic rams, jacks etc. does not sufficiently secure raised machines or
equipment/attachments).
• Avoid contact with hot parts, such as the engine block or the exhaust system during the
operation of the machine and for some time afterward – risk of burns.
• Handle retainer pins slowly and carefully – risk of injury.
• Using starting fuel is not allowed. This applies in particular if the intake-air preheating is
used at the same time – danger of explosions.
• Apply special care when working on the fuel system – increased danger of fire.
• When performing maintenance work, ensure that there is a fire extinguisher in the work
area.
• Before performing (maintenance) work on the machine, remove all jewellry, such as
rings, watches and bracelets. Tie back long hair, and button up or zip up loose-fitting
garments.
Injury can result from hair, jewellry or garments getting caught on moving parts.
• Always wear a hard hat and safety shoes when performing work or maintenance on the
machine. If necessary, wear protective clothing, safety glasses, masks, gloves and ear
protectors.
• The lock nuts may be used only once and must be replaced by new ones every time
they are removed.
