• Properly wash the entire machine. In the case of steam cleaning, avoid aiming the steam flow directly at electrical components and
insulating material or cover them beforehand.
•
When removing, installing and repairing individual groups, maintain absolute cleanliness of all parts. Protect removed parts
against dirt.
•
Clean the surface of removed parts and create a corresponding dust-free work environment with the necessary storage area.

the machine starts moving. Persons located on the machine and in its dangerous proximity must leave the machine and the area
after the audible warning signal.
• Do not adjust the machine in operation.
•
When performing necessary work on a running engine (adjustment), avoid contact with hot and rotating parts of the machine.
Work performed when the engine is running (adjustment) must be carried out in the presence of another person who has immedi-
ate access to emergency shut-down and who is continuously in contact with the person performing the adjustment, so that the
engine can be immediately switched off if necessary.
• Only use prescribed kinds of engine, transmission and hydraulic oil and coolant.
