HYDRAULICS
WARNING ALWAYS “Dump” residual pressure from the system before leaving the
machine or before carrying out any maintenance or adjustments.
If maintenance work requires the skip to be in the raised position, then it
must be raised and supported before dumping the pressure.
Dump pressure by switching off the engine, then moving the hydraulic control
lever several times in each direction.
NEVER leave the machine unattended with pressure in the system.
ALWAYS purge hydraulic rams before commencing work. With the engine
running operate the hydraulic control to fully extend and retract the rams.
ALWAYS practise the greatest cleanliness in maintaining hydraulic
components.
SERVICING
WARNING ALWAYS report any defect at once, before an accident or consequential
damage can occur.
ALWAYS conform to service schedules except where:
1 Warning lights or warning indicators call for immediate attention.
2 Adverse conditions necessitate more frequent servicing.
ALWAYS wear correctly fitting protective clothing. Loose or baggy clothing
can be extremely dangerous when working on running engines or machinery.
ALWAYS, where possible, work on or close to engines or machinery only
when they are stopped. If this is not practical, remember to keep tools, test
equipment and all parts of your body well away from the moving parts.
ALWAYS “Dump” pressure from the hydraulic system before carrying out any
kind of maintenance or adjustment. (see Service - Hydraulic system).
ALWAYS avoid contact with exhaust pipes, exhaust manifolds and silencers
when the engine is running; these can be very hot.
ALWAYS work out of doors, or in a well-ventilated area.
NEVER run an engine in an enclosed space. Exhaust fumes in enclosed
areas can kill.
ALWAYS disconnect battery cables and remove battery before using an
external charger, carrying out welding repairs or to prevent unauthorised
usage when unattended or during a repair.
NEVER allow unqualified personnel to attempt to repair, remove or replace
any part of the machine, or anyone to remove large or heavy components
without adequate lifting tackle.
NEVER attempt to modify or repair Rops Frames or Fops Canopies by
welding, drilling or any other means. Attempts to do so will invalidate
Rops/Fops Certification.
