10 Maintenance of the machine
Never use your hand or fingers to try to stop a leak in the hydraulic system. Fluid escaping
under pressure (hydraulic oil) could enter the body through the skin and cause serious
injury. Consult a doctor immediately in case of wounds from hydraulic oil!
Avoid dangerous situations. Repair broken or worn parts before using the machine.
Be aware of residual mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical energy present in the
machine.
Work may only be carried out under a raised machine if the machine has been properly
supported.
For reasons of quality and safety, only use original Imants® parts.
