4.9.2
Personal safety measures
• Avoid any operational mode that might pose a risk to safety.
• Wear protective equipment (for example hard hat, protective gloves,
safety shoes).
• Tie back long hair and remove all jewelry.
• If maintenance on a running engine cannot be avoided:
– only work in groups of two.
– Both persons must be authorized and trained for the operation of
the vehicle.
– One person must be seated on the seat and stay in contact with
the second person.
– Keep a safe distance from rotating parts (e.g. from fan blades,
belts).
– Keep a sufficient distance to hot parts (e.g. exhaust system).
– Perform maintenance only in well-ventilated rooms or rooms with
an exhaust-gas suction system.
• Safely lock or support vehicle components before starting work.
• Take special care when working on the fuel system due to the in-
creased risk of fire.
4.9.3
Preparative measures
• Attach a warning label to the control elements (e.g. “Vehicle being
serviced, do not start”).
• Before performing assembly work on the vehicle, support the areas to
be serviced and use suitable lifting and supporting equipment for the
replacement of parts over 9kg.
• Perform maintenance only if:
– the vehicle is positioned on firm and level ground.
– the vehicle is secured against rolling away (e.g. parking brake,
chocks) and the attachment is placed on the ground.
– The engine is stopped.
– the starting key has been removed.
– the pressure in the working hydraulics has been released.
• If maintenance has to be performed under a raised vehicle or attach-
ment, support the vehicle or attachment (e.g. with a lift platform,
trestles) to ensure safety and stability.
• Hydraulic cylinders or jacks alone do not sufficiently secure a raised
vehicle or attachment.
