Safety rules - Precautionary statements
Accident prevention
WARNING
Avoid injury!
1. Disengage all drives.
2. Engage parking brake.
3. Lower all attachments to the ground, or raise and engage all safety locks.
4. Shut off engine.
5. Remove key from key switch.
6. Wait for all machine movement to stop.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Most accidents or injuries that occur in workshops are the result of a non compliance to simple and fundamental
safety regulations. For this reason, IN MOST CASES THESE ACCIDENTS CAN BE AVOIDED by foreseeing possible
causes and consequently acting with the necessary caution and care.
Accidents may occur with all types of machines, regardless of how well the machine in question was designed and
built.
A careful and informed service technician is the best guarantee against accidents.
Decisive awareness of the most basic safety rule is normally sufficient to avoid many serious accident.
Safety requirements for fluid power systems and components - Hydraulics (European stan-
dard for PR EN 982)
Flexible hose assemblies must not be constructed from hoses which have been previously used as part of a hose
assembly.
Do not weld hydraulic piping.
When flexible hoses or piping are damaged, replace them immediately.
It is forbidden to modify a hydraulic accumulator by machining, welding or any other means.
Before removing hydraulic accumulators for servicing, the liquid pressure in the accumulators must be reduced to
zero.
Pressure check on hydraulic accumulators shall be carried out by method recommended by the accumulator manu-
facturer.
Care must be taken not to exceed the maximum allowable pressure of the accumulator. After any check or adjustment
there must be no leakage of gas.

who is assisting with the operation in question.
• Do not operate the machine or use any of the implements from different positions, other than the driver's seat.
• Do not carry out operations on the machine with the engine running, unless specifically indicated.
• Stop the engine and bleed off residual hydraulic pressure before removing components, caps, valves, covers or
