Farmi Forest Corporation 4670 Operation, Maintenance And Spare Parts Manual page 8

• When servicing the machine, place it on a level sur-
face and ensure that it cannot be moved.
• 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.
When lifting the machine, check
that the lifting/hoisting equip-
!
ment is in perfect working order.
Check the weight of the machine
before lifting it. Choose lifting

trajectories so that they do not
cause any danger.
Many countries have specific legislation on lifting, hois-
ting cables and hoists. Always comply with local safety
regulations.
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 con-
ditions.
3. Check the machine for leaks. Do not use the machine
if there is a leak from any system. Check all hydrau-
lic hoses – particularly those which are bent during
use – and replace any that are in poor condition 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
by the manufacturer. Check particularly that the
pressure classes of the hoses and connectors are
suitable to the operating pressure levels.
5. Check that all safety devices such as pressure relief
valves, etc., are in place and work properly. Fami-
liarize yourself with their use. Safety systems may
never be bypassed.
6. Check the main hydraulic parts daily, and always
after a fault. Replace any damaged parts imme-
diately.
7. If a component is damaged, clean it before repairing it.
Do not use solvents when cleaning parts.
8. Do not attempt to carry out repairs that you are
not fully familiar with.
9. Never carry out repairs of the hydraulic circuit when
the system is pressurized. When pressurized, the
oil spray can penetrate the skin and cause mortal
danger.
10. Never work below a device or component that is
only being held up by hydraulics. Use separate sup-
ports when carrying our maintenance or repairs.
Do not disconnect cylinders or their valves until the
machine is well supported.
11. Most hydraulic oils do not evaporate easily. Risk
factors include hot oil, spills and oil mist (pressu-
rized).
12. If oil gets into your eyes, rinse with plenty of water
and contact a doctor.
13. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with your
skin.
14. If sprays or contact with the skin cannot be avoided,
use protective gloves, goggles and clothing as ne-
cessary. Do not use oily clothing.
