12.2.SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
• Spare parts must correspond to the technical provisions established by the
Constructor. This is guaranteed by the use of original spare parts.
• Errors can be extremely dangerous. Before greasing or making repairs read
the user and operation manual carefully.
• Handle all parts with special care. Keep hands and fingers away from conce‐
aled spaces, gearing and similar. Always use approved safety devices, such as
goggles, gloves and safety footwear.
• When working on the electrical system always wear protective goggles and
remove rings, watches and any other metal jewellery. As a general rule, do not
use petrol to clean parts.
• Always disconnect the batteries before working on the electrical system.
• Hydraulic hoses must be correctly laid and fitted.
• Tampering with the hydraulic circuit may cause serious danger during use of
the platform.
• Do not dispose of lubricants in the environment but rather collect and dispose
of them in compliance with laws in force in the country in question.
• Check the vehicle at least once per day or shift for any external damage (cor‐
rosion, structural parts, welds). The person in charge must be informed immedia‐
tely of any change observed (including functional behaviour). In this case, stop
the vehicle immediately and carry out more detailed checks.
• Fluid that leaks under pressure may penetrate the skin. Always discharge
pressure before removing the hydraulic hoses and tighten connections correctly
before pressurising. Keep hands and body away from small holes and nozzles
where high pressure liquids may be released. Use cardboard or paper to identify
leaks.
• Heavy parts must be lifted using a lifting device with suitable capacity.
• It is prohibited to carry out any maintenance operations with the working arm
not completely lowered and/or with stabilised machine.
