4.10.2
Hydraulic and compressed-air system
• Check all lines, hoses and screw connections regularly for leaks and
visible damage.
• Splashed oil can cause injury and fire.
• Leaking hydraulic and compressed-air lines can cause the full loss of
the braking effect.
• Have damage and leaks immediately repaired by an authorized ser-
vice center.
• Have hydraulic hoses and lines replaced by an authorized service
center within stipulated intervals even if no visual defects can be de-
tected.
4.10.3
Electrical system
• Use only fuses with the specified current rating.
• In case of damage or malfunction in the electrical system:
– Put the vehicle out of operation immediately and secure it against
restart.
– Disconnect the battery or operate the battery master switch.
– Have the malfunction repaired.
• Ensure that work on the electrical system is only performed by tech-
nically trained personnel.
• Regularly check the electrical system. Have malfunctions repaired im-
mediately (for example loose connections, scorched cables).
• The operating voltage of the vehicle, the attachment and the trailer
must coincide (e.g. 12V).
4.10.4
Battery
• Batteries contain caustic substances (for example sulfuric acid).
When handling the battery observe the specific safety instructions
and regulations relevant to accident prevention.
• A volatile oxyhydrogen mixture forms in batteries during normal oper-
ation and especially during charging. Always wear gloves and eye
protection when working with batteries.
• Do not perform battery maintenance near open flames.
• Perform battery maintenance only in well-ventilated areas (e.g. due to
vapors harmful to health, explosion hazard).
• Starting the vehicle with battery jumper cables is dangerous if per-
formed improperly. Observe the safety instructions regarding the bat-
tery.
