Before service, read
Prevent personal injuries
Read the Operator's Manual before beginning any service
work. It is also important to read and follow the information and
instructions given on plates and decals.
Do not wear loose-fitting clothes or jewellery, which may catch
and lead to injury.
Always wear a hard hat, safety glasses, gloves, protective
shoes and other protective articles when the work so requires.
Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation when starting the
engine indoors.
Do not stand in front of or behind the machine while the engine
is running.
For service work with the dump body up, secure with the dump
body lock or the dump body support, see page 94. Lock the
dump lever with the lock-out control.
IMPORTANT! Always lean in under the dump body from one
L64527A
side when the dump body lock is to be locked or unlocked.
Stop the engine before opening engine hood, radiator casings
and similar covers.
When the engine has been stopped, there is still accumulated
pressure in the pressurised systems. If a system is opened
without having first released all pressure, liquid under high
pressure will jet out.
IMPORTANT! If the machine is equipped with FS-system,
make sure that the system is in the lowered position before
beginning any service work.
When looking for possible leaks, use a piece of paper or stiff
board, not your hand.
Make sure that stepping surfaces, handholds and slip
protected surfaces are free from oil, diesel fuel, dirt and ice.
Never step on surfaces on the machine that are not intended
for this.
It is important that correct tools and equipment are used.
Defective tools or defective equipment must be repaired or
replaced.
Prevent machine damage
When lifting or supporting the machine or parts of the machine,
make sure that the equipment you are using has sufficient lifting
capacity.
Lifting devices, tools, working methods, lubricants and spare
parts prescribed in the Operator's Manual must be used. Volvo
CE will not accept any responsibility if this is not followed.
Make sure that no tools or other objects, which may cause
damage, are left inside or on the machine.
Release the pressure in the hydraulic system before beginning
service work.
