STARTING
Do not run the engine in closed areas without
◊
proper ventilation to remove deadly exhaust
fumes.
Do not place head, body, limbs, feet, hands or
◊
fingers, near rotating fans or belts. Be especially
alert near pusher fans.
ENGINE
Loosen the radiator cap very slowly, to release
◊
pressure from the system, before removing it. All
coolant level top--ups must be performed with
engine inoperative or at low idle, if warm
Do not run engine when refuelling and use care
◊
if the engine is hot due to the increased possibil-
ity of a fire if fuel is spilled.
Never attempt to check or adjust fan belts when
◊
engine is running. Do not adjust engine fuel
pump when machine is moving.
Never lubricate the machine with engine run-
◊
ning.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Should booster batteries be used, remember to
◊
connect both ends of the booster cables in the
proper manner (+) with (+) and (--) with (--). Avoid
short--circuits of the terminals. Follow thoroughly
the instructions of this Manual.
Avoid short circuiting the terminals. BATTERY
GAS IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. Leave battery
box open to improve ventilation when recharging
batteries. Never check charge by placing metal
objects across the posts. Keep sparks or open
flames away from batteries. Do not smoke near
battery to guard against the possibility of causing
an explosion.
Before any intervention, make sure that there
◊
are no fuel or electrolyte leakages; eliminate
them before proceeding with further work.
When recharging batteries in closed ambient,
◊
make sure that there is appropriate ventilation to
prevent possible accidental explosions due to
the accumulation of gases generated during the
recharge.
Before any intervention, make sure that the main
◊
switch is OFF.
SECTION 00 - - GENERAL
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Fluid escaping under pressure from a very small
◊
hole can be almost invisible and can have suffi-
cient force to penetrate the skin. Use a piece of
cardboard or wood to search for suspected pres-
sure leaks. DO NOT USE HANDS. If injured by
escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious
infection or reaction can develop if proper medi-
cal treatment is not administered immediately.
In case pressures must be measured, use
◊
instruments of adequate capacity. Always follow
the recommended procedures.
WHEELS AND TYRES
Make sure that the inflation pressure of the tyres
◊
is according to the specifications issued by the
Manufacturer and check it periodically.
Should the pressure be changed, stand on the
◊
side of the tyre at a safe distance.
Pressure check operations must be performed
◊
with unloaded machine and cold tyres. Never
use reconditioned tyre rims, since eventual
weldings, heat--treatments or repairs not per-
formed correctly can weaken the wheel, thus
causing subsequent damages or dangers.
Do not perform torch cutting or welding oper-
◊
ations on rims with inflated tyres installed.
Before operating on tyres, block all wheels, front
◊
and rear. After jacking the machine, block it with
stands according to current safety rules and
regulations.
Before removing objects from the tyre tread,
◊
deflate it.
Never inflate tyres with flammable gas;
◊
explosions and serious bodily injuries may
result.
REMOVALS AND INSTALLATIONS
Lift and handle all heavy parts with lifting devices
◊
of adequate capacity. Make sue that the parts
are attached to lifting devices are properly
slinged. Use the lifting eyes provided. Beware of
persons in the vicinity.
Handle all parts carefully. Keep hands and
◊
fingers away from structures, gears or moving
parts. Use and wear always the appropriate
protections, such s goggles, gloves and safety
shoes.
Prevent chains and cables from kinking. To
◊
handle them, always use heavy gloves.
