Safety when servicing

Introduction

WARNING!
Any person who does not follow the safety instructions and
pays attention to the warnings given in this Operator's
Manual, must make sure that his or her working method is
safe. Otherwise there is great risk of serious accidents,
which, at the worst, could be fatal.
NOTE :
This section deals with general safety rules which should be
followed when checking and servicing the machine. Safety
rules and warning texts for operating the machine are given
in the respective sections in the Operator's Manual.
This section is intended as a guide to the correct handing of the
machine. Therefore, carefully read these instructions before ser-
vicing the machine. Keep the Operator's Manual in the machine for
handy reference.
We have taken many hours in designing and producing the safest
and most efficient machine possible. However, this is in vain if the
individual, who is about to use or carry out service on the machine,
does not read the safety instructions or does not bother to follow
them as for example:
– does not re-install guards
– steps on slippery parts of the machine instead of using a ladder
– grasp hold of hoses instead of handholds
– uses the wrong tool for the job.
In order to maintain safe and efficient function, always use Volvo
Construction Equipment genuine spare parts.
Machines rarely cause accidents, whereas incorrect handling of-
ten does.
A safety conscious person and a well maintained machine make a
safe, efficient and profitable combination.
