2.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY
The fastening of loads and the instructing of crane operators
should be entrusted to experienced persons only. The mar-
shaller giving the instructions must be within sight or sound of
the operator.
For carrying out overhead assembly work always use spe-
cially designed or otherwise safety-oriented ladders and
working platforms. Never use machine parts as a climbing
aid. Wear a safety harness when carrying out maintenance
work at greater heights.
Keep all handles, steps, handrails, platforms, landings and
ladders free from dirt, snow and ice.
Clean the machine, especially connections and threaded
unions, of any traces of oil, fuel or preservatives before carry-
ing out maintenance/repair. Never use aggressive detergents.
Use lint-free cleaning rags.
Before cleaning the machine with water, steam jet (high-pres-
sure cleaning) or detergents, cover or tape up all openings
which - for safety and functional reasons - must be protected
against water, steam or detergent penetration. Special care
must be taken with electric motors and switchgear cabinets.
Ensure during cleaning of the machine that the temperature
sensors of the fire-warning and fire-fighting systems do not
come into contact with hot cleaning agents as this might acti-
vate the fire-fighting system.
After cleaning, remove all covers and tapes applied for that
purpose.
After cleaning, examine all fuel, lubricant, and hydraulic fluid
lines for leaks, loose connections, chafe marks and damage.
Any defects found must be rectified without delay.
Always tighten any screwed connections that have been loos-
ened during maintenance and repair.
Any safety devices removed for set-up, maintenance or repair
purposes must be refitted and checked immediately upon
completion of the maintenance and repair work.
Ensure that all consumables and replaced parts are disposed
of safely and with minimum environmental impact.
