SAFETY
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When performing cleaning, mounting, dismounting, maintenance and transport, take care to place the
attachment in a condition of perfect stability and lock its rotation with the pins provided. The movements of
its various parts must be inhibited by external constraints (such as slings or supports).
Any service of the rotation thrust block must only be performed by a specialized technician equipped with
a torque wrench for tightening the screws.
For the hydraulic connections, only and exclusively use hydraulic hoses and fittings conforming to the
SAEJ517 or DIN20066 standards for the specified pressures. Failure to observe the above could compromise
the safety of the attachment.
Always check the integrity of the hoses to make sure they have not been damaged. If so, have them
replaced immediately. Search for leaks using small pieces of paper or cardboard and never with your
fingers to avoid possible subcutaneous injections of oil under pressure.
The oil can reach very high temperatures. Before performing any service on external surfaces, wait for them
to completely cool.
Only use original replacement parts to replace worn parts.

DANGER ZONES

OPERATOR POSITIONING
When the operating machine is working, the operator must pay particular attention to his own position in
other to avoid possible danger to himself and persons nearby. The area adjacent to the attachment is
divided into two areas:
OPERATOR AREAS
These are areas in which the operator must work during normal operation of the attachment. The "operator
areas" are to be considered potentially dangerous areas. In these areas, which are indicated on the
following drawing, the operator should pay the maximum attention while working to protect the well-being
of persons near to him; it is extremely important to follow all the accident prevention rules described to this
point.
DANGER ZONES
These are the areas that unauthorized personnel must not approach during work.
