STOP
cover them with an arm.

Locking of the swivel frame

The swivel frame lock (1) serves for securing the swivel frame
against unintentional rotations, e.g. during transport.
If the swivel frame lock is in unlocked position (A), rotating of the
swivel frame is possible.
For locking, the swivel frame lock must be brought into position (B).
Before locking the swivel frame, swivel frame and track
frame must be aligned parallel to each other.

Hazards coming from the hydraulic system

If hydraulic oil gets into the eyes, rinse them immediately with clear water and subsequently seek medical aid.
Do not allow hydraulic oil to contact the skin or clothing. Skin parts which may have come in contact with hydraulic
oil must be washed with water and soap immediately, if possible. Do this thoroughly and repeatedly, otherwise
there is a risk of damage to the skin.
Immediately take off any clothes dirtied or soaked with hydraulic oil.
Persons who have inhaled hydraulic oil vapours (mist) should be taken to a doctor immediately.
If leaks have occurred in the hydraulic system, the excavator may not be taken into operation or, if in operation,
operation must cease at once.
Do not use the naked hand to search for leaks; always use a piece of wood or cardboard. Protective clothing (eye
protection and gloves) must be worn when seeking leaks.
Leaking hydraulic oil must be bound immediately with an oil binding agent. The contaminated oil binding agent
must be stored in suitable containers and in accordance with the valid regulations.
