Machine start-up.
• Never run the engine in confined spaces that are not equipped with adequate ventilation for exhaust gas extraction.
• Never place the head, body, limbs, feet, hands or fingers near rotating and moving parts.
Hydraulic systems and fuel injection systems
• A liquid leaking from a tiny hole may be almost invisible but, at the same time, be powerful enough to penetrate
the skin. Therefore, NEVER USE HANDS TO CHECK FOR LEAKS but use a piece of cardboard or paper for this
purpose. If any liquid penetrates skin tissue, call for medical aid immediately. Failure to treat this condition with
correct medical procedure may result in serious infection or death.
• In order to check the pressure in the system use suitable instruments.
Wheels and tires
• Make sure that the tires are correctly inflated at the pressure specified by the manufacturer. Periodically check the
rims and tires for damage.
• Stand away from (at the side of) the tire when checking inflation pressure.
• Do not use parts of recovered wheels as incorrect welding brazing or heating may weaken and eventually cause
damage to the wheel.
• Never cut or weld a rim mounted with an inflated tire.
• Deflate the tire before removing any objects that may be jammed in the tire tread.
• Never inflate tires using inflammable gases, as this may result in explosions and injury to bystanders.
Removal and installation
• Lift and handle all heavy parts using suitable hoisting equipment. Make sure that parts are sustained by appropriate
hooks and slings. Use the hoisting eyebolts for lifting operations. Extra care should be taken if persons are present
near the load to be lifted.
• Handle all parts carefully. Do not put your hands or fingers between parts. Wear suitable safety clothing - safety
goggles, gloves and shoes.
• Avoid twisting chains or metal cables. Always wear safety gloves when handling cables or chains.
• Damaged or bent chains or cables are unreliable. Do not use them for lifting or towing. Always use suitable pro-
tective gloves when handling chains or cables.
• Chains should always be safely secured. Make sure that the hitch-up point is capable of sustaining the load in
question. Keep the area near the hitch-up point, chains or cables free of all bystanders.
• Metal cables tend to fray with repeated use. Always use suitable protective devices (gloves, goggles, etc.) when
handling cables.
