Safety
When working on any machine, the first thing you
must be aware of is your own safety and that of oth-
ers. In order to work without risk, it is important to
understand what the work actually involves, to use
implements and any equipment needed correctly,
and, finally, to use your head at all times.
Troubleshooting
The following method can be used to help locate
faults in the machine based on the information in
the workshop manual.
The method involves going through a number of
logical steps in order to identify, localise and repair
the fault:
– Establish the nature of the problem.
– List possible causes.
– Rule out causes.
– Carry out the checks in the right order in order
to find the right cause.
– Compare the approximate useful life remaining
with the cost of spare parts and labour.
– Carry out the repair that was found to be neces-
sary.
– Check that the components and functions af-
fected are working correctly.
Handling heavy objects
Unless otherwise indicated, adjustable lifting tackle
must always be used for disassembly. All lifting
straps or chains must be parallel with each other
and hang as vertically as possible in relation to the
object being lifted. If the straps or chains are de-
signed for a much greater lifting capacity than the
weight of the current load, it is permissible to use
straps and chains in a triangular arrangement (2, 3 or
4 straps or chains from the same ring under the
tackle hook).
Please note that when a tilted component is re-
moved, the lifting eye will have a much smaller ca-
pacity if the angle between the load-bearing
elements and the object is less than 90° (right and
wrong lifting method). The lifting eye must never be
bent. The same applies to the yokes, which must
only be subjected to tensile stress. A length of pipe
and a disc can be used to reduce the load on the lift-
ing eye.
