Measures before operation

Measures before operation
1 Before taking the machine into operation you should become
familiar with the location and function of all gauges and control
elements. You should therefore thoroughly read these opera-
ting instructions. Your personal safety is concerned!
2 Before starting the engine walk around the machine and check
for any leaks and damaged or loose parts which could cause
damage.
3 Perform the daily maintenance according to the lubrication and
maintenance plan. Apart from that check or perform the follo-
wing points.
– Fuel level in fuel level (check only with ignition switch in
running position ("position 2")).
– Engine oil level
– Hydraulic oil level
– Coolant level
4 Clean warning and information decals, hand grips and access
steps.
5 Check that the battery disconnect switch (option) is switched
on.
Additional measures under cold weather conditions
– Make sure that the recommended minimum temperature of the
coolant complies with the weather conditions.
After operation
– The fuel tank should be filled at the end of each work day. This
prevents the formation of condensation water, as far as pos-
sible.
– The fuel tank should never be "run dry". Fill in only clean fuel!
Maintenance
IMPORTANT! Keep the machine operational and clean. This
preserves the reliability and a fully functional and clean
machine is less susceptible for injuring the driver or dama-
ging the environment.
Inspect the machine before starting the working day. Make sure
that any damage is repaired immediately, that possible leaks
are sealed and that the necessary guards and safety installa-
tions are correctly in place.
Keep cab floor and access points free of clay, grease or loose
objects, which could be a source for slipping or stumbling.
