2 Safety
Hydraulic system
• Check all lines, hoses and screw connections regularly
for leaks and visible damage.
• Splashed oil can cause injury and fire.
• Leaking hydraulic lines can result in loss of brake effect.
• Have damage and leaks immediately repaired by an authorized
service center.
• Have hydraulic hoses replaced by an authorized service center within
stipulated intervals even if no visual defects can be detected.
Handling oil, grease and other substances
• When handling oil, grease and other chemical substances
(for example the battery acid, coolant), observe the safety data sheets.
• Avoid skin and eye contact with oil and grease. Wear appropriate
protective equipment (for example protective gloves, safety glasses).
• Be careful when handling hot consumables – burn hazard.
• In polluted environment (dust, vapors, smoke, asbestos), work only
with appropriate personal protective equipment
(for example with a breathing mask).
• Do not allow the oil and oily wastes to get into the ground or stretches
of water.
• Absorb the escaping oil immediately with a binding agent, and dispose
of it in an environmentally friendly manner and separately from other
waste.
• Even biodegradable, “environmentally friendly” oil must be disposed of
separately, just like every other type of oil.
Fire hazard
• Operating supplies, lubricants and coolants are flammable.
• Do not put the vehicle into operation if there is a fire hazard.
• Do not use flammable detergents.
• Due to hot machine parts, maintain a safe distance from easily
flammable material (for example, from hay, dry leaves).
- Stop and park the machine only in fire-protected areas.
• If the vehicle is equipped with a fire extinguisher (optional), have it
installed in its specific location.
• Keep the vehicle clean. This reduces the fire hazard.
• Always call the fire department in the event of a fire.
• Do not use water to extinguish fires on the machine or burning liquids.
Use suitable extinguishing agents, such as powder, carbon dioxide or
foam extinguishers.
