Observe the service intervals and annual safety
inspections.
•
All spare parts and equipment must fulfill the
manufacturer's requirements. This can be guaran-
teed by using original parts.

Put all safety devices back into place immediately
once servicing or maintenance is complete.

cause any danger.
Many countries have specific legislation on lifting, hois-
ting cables and hoists. Always comply with local safe-

OILS AND LUBRICATION
•
Always use the oil types recommended by the
manufacturer. Other types of oil may cause
faults or improper operation of the equipment,
which could lead to serious damage to people or
property.
•
Never mix different liquids or oils.
•
Always follow the manufacturer's lubrication
instructions.
•
Use control equipment carefully until the hydraulic
oil has had time to reach its operating temperature.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS
1. Work on hydraulic equipment may only be carried
out by professional hydraulic engineers.
2. Be cautious when using the equipment in cold c
onditions.
3. Check the machine for leaks. Do not use the
machine if there is a leak from any system. Check all
hydraulic hoses – particularly those which are bent
during use – and replace any that are in poor con-
dition or have leaks. Ensure that all joins are tight
and that the lines are not damaged. Check that all
protective caps and filler caps are closed properly.
Check the hose sheathing for damage.
4. Check that all hose connectors, lengths and
qualities comply with applicable requirements.
When replacing or repairing hoses, use original
parts or hoses and connectors recommended
