4 SAFE OPERATION
-
3. AFTER OPERATION
Before leaving the machine,
A Park the excavator on a firm, flat and level surface.
A Lower the attachments and the dozer blade to the
ground.
A Stop the engine.
A Release pressure trapped in the hydraulic system.
A Lock all control levers.
A Remove the key.
(1) Lock lever for control lever (A) "Unlock"
(B) "Lock"
4. SAFE LOADING AND TRANSPORT OF
THE EXCAVATOR
1. Observe all regulations concerning the transport of
excavators on public roads.
2. Use adequately long and robust ramps when loading
on the machine. (for details see "TRANSPORTING
THE EXCAVATOR ON A VEHICLE")
3. Do not change the running direction and to avoid a
tipping over, do not try to swing the attachment
crosswise to the loading ramps.
4. Lower the attachment on the loading bed and release
the pressure from the hydraulic system.
After loading the excavator on the truck, block the
tracks with blocks and cable down the excavator.
5. Avoid abrupt braking of the vehicle with the excavator
loaded. Sudden braking cause the excavator to move
and may cause a serious accident.
6. If the excavator is to tow another machine, make sure
the load is smaller than the strength of the hook, tow
chain or cable.
Max. drawbar pull at
70450 N (15838 lbf, 7184 kgf)
coupling hook
Max. vertical load at
coupling hook
7. Do not use hooks on the roof of canopy or CAB for
lifting the excavator.
5. MAINTENANCE
Before doing maintenance work on the excavator, place
the machine on even solid ground, lower the attachments
to the ground, stop the engine and remove the key. When
dismantling hydraulic parts, make sure that the hydraulic
oil has cooled down sufficiently to avoid burns.
Start maintenance work carefully, e.g. loosen plug slowly
so that oil will not squirt out.
1. Before doing work on the engine, the exhaust system,
the radiator and the hydraulics, let the excavator cool
down sufficiently.
2. Turn off the engine at all times when filling with fuel.
Avoid spilling and over-filling of fuel.
