Personal risk
This warning symbol draws your attention to mes-
sages that are important for your safety.
Read the safety notes carefully and comply with the
recommended precautions to avoid potential dan-
gers and safeguard your health and personal
safety.
This symbol appears in the text along with the fol-
lowing key words:
WARNING - To warn of unsuitable repair opera-
tions with potential consequences that could affect
the repair technician's safety.
DANGER - To indicate warnings that specifically
denote potential dangers for the operator's safety
or for other directly or indirectly involved persons.
Avoid accidents
The majority of accidents that occur in workshops are caused by failure to comply with some simple and fun-
damental rule of caution and safety. Therefore IN MOST CASES THEY CAN BE AVOIDED: all that's needed is
to foresee the possible causes and consequently act with due care and caution.
However well a machine is designed and built, it is never possible to absolutely exclude all hazardous
situations.
A careful and prudent mechanic is the best guarantee against accidents.
Strict compliance with even only one elementary safety rule would be sufficient to avoid many serious acci-
dents.
DANGER. Never carry out any cleaning, lubricating or servicing operations whilst the engine is running.
General rules
-
Carefully comply with the prescribed maintenance and repair procedures.
-
Do not wear rings, watches, jewellery, unfastened or hanging garments, such as ties, torn clothing,
scarves, unbuttoned jackets or with open zip-fasteners that could become caught in moving parts. You
are advised to wear approved safety garments, such as: non-slip footwear, gloves, safety goggles, hel-
mets, etc.
-
Never carry out repair work on the machine whilst someone is sitting in the driver's seat, unless this per-
son is an authorized operator who is helping with the operations in progress.
-
Only operate the machine and use the relative implements when you are sitting in the driver's seat.
-
Do not carry out any work on the machine when the engine is running, unless this is specifically pre-
scribed.
-
Stop the engine and make sure that the pressure has been relieved from the hydraulic circuits before
removing any caps, covers, valves, etc.
-
All servicing work must be carried out with the utmost care and attention.
-
Ladders and platforms used in workshops or in the field must comply with the current safety regulations.
-
Disconnect the batteries and label all the controls to warn others that work is being carried out. Block
the machine and all implements that must be raised.
-
Do not check or fill fuel tanks, batteries, or use ignition fluid when smoking or near naked flames as
these liquids are inflammable.
-
The brakes are disengaged when released by hand for servicing work: in these cases, the machine must
be kept under control by means of chocks or similar.
