•
Have repair work on the tires only performed by trained technical
personnel.
•
Check the tires for correct pressure and visible damage (for example
cracks, cuts).
•
Check the wheel nuts for tightness.
•
Use only approved tires.
•
The machine must have identical tires (for example profile, revolutions
per mile).
•
Repair work on tracks may be performed only by trained technicians.
•
Check the tracks for correct tension and visible damage (for example
cracks, cuts).
•

plates, ice), increased slipping hazard.
•
Use only approved tracks.
•
Check all lines, hoses and threaded fittings regularly for leaks and
visible damage.
•
Splashed oil can cause injury and fire.
•
Leaking hydraulic and compressed-air lines can cause the full loss of
the brake effect.
•
Have damage and leaks immediately repaired by an authorized
service center.
•
Have hydraulic hoses replaced by an authorized service center within
stipulated intervals even if no visual defects can be detected.
•
Use only fuses with the specified current rating.
•
In case of damage or malfunction in the electrical system:
- Put the machine out of operation immediately and secure it against
restart
- Disconnect the battery or operate the battery master switch
- Have the malfunction repaired
•
Ensure that work on the electrical system is only performed by trained
technical personnel.
•
Have the electrical system checked regularly and malfunctions
repaired immediately (for example loose connections, scorched
cables).
•
The operating voltage of machine, the attachment and the trailer must
be the same (for example 12 V).
