• Disconnect the Power Take Off (PTO) from the machine, and label all controls to indicate that the machine is being
serviced. Any parts that are to be raised must be locked in position.
• Brakes are inoperative when manually released for repair or maintenance purposes. Use blocks or similar devices
to control the machine in these conditions.
• Only use specified towing points for towing the machine. Connect parts carefully. Make sure that all pins and/or
locks are secured in position before applying traction. Never remain near the towing bars, cables or chains that are
operating under load.
• When loading or unloading the machine from the trailer (or other means of transport), select a flat area capable of
sustaining the trailer or truck wheels. Firmly secure the machine to the truck or trailer and lock the wheels in the
position used by the carrier.
• Electric heaters, battery-chargers and similar equipment must be powered only by auxiliary power supplies with
efficient ground insulation to avoid electrical shock hazards.
• Always use suitable hoisting or lifting devices when raising or moving heavy parts.
• Take extra care if bystanders are present.
• Never use gasoline, diesel oil or other flammable liquids as cleaning agents. Use non-flammable, non-toxic com-
mercially available solvents.
• Wear safety goggles with side guards when cleaning parts with compressed air.
• Reduce tire air pressure according to the local regulations in force.
• Do not run the engine in confined spaces without suitable ventilation.
• Never use open flames for lighting when working on the machine or checking for leaks.
• All movements must be carried out carefully when working under, on or near the machine. Wear protective equip-
ment: helmets, goggles and special footwear.
• When carrying out checks with the engine running, request the assistance of an operator in the driver's seat. The
operator must maintain visual contact with the service technician at all times.
• If operating outside the workshop, position the machine on a flat surface and lock in position. If working on a slope,
lock the machine in position. Move to a flat area as soon as is safely possible.
• Damaged or bent chains or cables are unreliable. Do not use them for lifting or towing. Always use suitable pro-
tective gloves when handling chains or cables.
• Chains should always be safely secured. Make sure that the hitch-up point is capable of sustaining the load in
question. Keep the area near the hitch-up point, chains or cables free of all bystanders.
• Maintenance and repair operations must be carried out in a CLEAN and DRY area. Eliminate any water or oil
spillage immediately.
• Do not create piles of oil or grease-soaked rags as they represent a serious fire hazard. Always store rags in a
closed metal container.
• Before engaging the machine, make sure that there are no persons within the machine or implement range of action.
• Empty your pockets of all objects that may fall accidentally unobserved into the machine inner compartments.
• In the presence of protruding metal parts, use protective goggles or goggles with side guards, helmets, special
footwear and gloves.
• When welding, use protective safety devices: tinted safety goggles, helmets, special overalls, gloves and footwear.
All persons present in the area where welding is taking place must wear tinted goggles. NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY
AT THE WELDING ARC WITHOUT SUITABLE EYE PROTECTION.
• If welding in close proximity to a computer module, then the battery should be disconnected, and also the module
should be removed from the machine.
• Metal cables tend to fray with repeated use. Always use suitable protective devices (gloves, goggles, etc.) when
handling cables.
• Handle all parts carefully. Do not put your hands or fingers between moving parts. Wear suitable safety clothing -
safety goggles, gloves and shoes.
Machine Start Up
• Never run the engine in confined spaces that are not equipped with adequate ventilation for exhaust gas extraction.
