To prevent accidents
Most accidents and personal injuries taking place in workshops are due from non-observance of some simple and
essential prudential rule and safety precautions. For this reason, IN MOST CASES THEY CAN BE AVOIDED. It
suffices to foresee possible causes and act consequently with necessary caution and care.
The possibility that an accident might occur with any type of machines should not be disregarded, no matter how well
the machine in question was designed and built.
A wise and careful service technician is the best precautions against accidents.
Careful observance of this only basic precaution would be enough to avoid many severe accidents.

such as anti-slipping footwear, gloves, safety goggles, helmets, etc.
• Never carry out any repair on the machine if someone is sitting on the operator's seat, except if they are certified
operators to assist in the operation to be carried out.
• Never operate the machine or use attachments from a place other than sitting at the operator's seat.
• Never carry out any operation on the machine when the engine is running, except when specifically indicated.
• Stop the engine and ensure that all pressure is relieved from hydraulic circuits before removing caps, covers, valves,
