3.3 Before transporting the machine always check that the accessories have been safely stowed
away.
3.4 Make sure that there is enough lighting during work.
3.5 Avoid any operation that might be a risk to machine stability.
3.6 Check the machine at least after every operation for obvious damage and defects. Report
any changes (incl. changes in the machine’s working behaviour) to the competent organization /
person immediately. If necessary, stop the machine immediately and lock it. All lines, hoses and
screwed connections have to be checked for leaks and obvious damage. Repair damage
immediately. Splashed oil may cause injury and fire.
3.7 All safety equipment has to be checked for completeness and flawless condition:
- instruction markings and warning signs (safety instructions)
- check safety cover (e.g. motor-safety covers, heat protection etc.) if they are available and
if they are in good condition.
3.8 Working under loads is not allowed if they are only lifted by hydraulic cylinders. If the work
is indispensable sufficient mechanical supports are needed additionally.
4 Instructions for maintenance and service
4.1 For the execution of maintenance and service work, tools and workshop equipment adapted
to the task on hand are absolutely indispensable.
Work on the hydraulic system must be carried out only by personnel having special knowledge and
experience with hydraulic equipment.
4.2 Before putting into operation clean the machine, especially connections and threaded
unions, of any traces of oil, fuel or preservatives before carrying out maintenance/repair. Never use
aggressive detergents. Use lint-free cleaning rags and pay attention that the components are
meticulously clean during reassembling after repair.
4.3 During dismantling of machines it is necessary to collect the outrunning hydraulic liquids
completely, so that they cannot reach the ground. They have to be disposed properly accord-ing
to the instructions.
4.4 Always tighten any screwed and thread connections that have been loosened during
maintenance and repair. Observe the stipulated torques.
4.7 Aggressive material (acid, lye, solvent, vapour) can damage the machine. It is necessary to
clean the whole machine if it must be exceptionally operated under such conditions or gets into
touch with these materials. Additionally, the machine must be checked as described under 3.6.
5 Safety Instructions for Hydraulic Hoses
- by no means the hose must be exposed to brake fluid as this fluid will destroy outer
layer of hose
- do not expose the hose to any of the following aggressive fluids:
• acid, lye or solvent • alcohol and fuel • battery and automatic transmission fluid • phosphate
ester
Clean hose immediately with water and detergent when it was exposed to such fluids.
