Before Service, Read - Volvo EC15E Operator's Manual

Before service, read

Preventing personal injury
Read the Operator's Manual before the service
work is started. It is also important to read and
follow information and instructions on plates and
decals.
Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery,
which can get caught and cause injury.
Always wear a hard hat, protective goggles,
gloves, protective shoes and other protective
articles when the work so requires.
Make sure that the ventilation is sufficient when
starting the engine indoors.
Do not stand in front of or behind the machine
when the engine is running.
If service work has to be carried out under raised
lifting arms, these must first be secured. (Engage
V1065951
the control lever lockout and apply the parking
brake if the machine is equipped with one).
Turn off the engine before opening the rear door
and engine cover.
When the engine is stopped, there is a remaining
accumulated pressure in the pressurized
systems. If a system is opened without having
first released the pressure, liquid under high
pressure will jet out.
When checking for leaks, use paper or
hardboard, not your hand.
Make sure that stepping surfaces, handholds and
anti-slip surfaces are free from oil, diesel fuel, dirt
and ice. Never step on parts of the machine that
are not intended for this.
It is important to use correct tools and equipment.
Broken tools or equipment should be repaired or
changed.
Preventing machine damage
When lifting or supporting the machine or parts of
the machine, use equipment with a sufficient
lifting capacity.
Lifting devices, tools, working methods,
lubricants and parts prescribed in the Operator's
Manual should be used. Volvo Construction
Equipment will not accept any responsibility
otherwise.
Make sure that no tools or other objects, which
may cause damage, have been forgotten in or on
the machine.
