Care and maintenance
31
Keep to the adjustment, maintenance and inspection
work or deadlines, including the information about
replacement/fitting of parts as prescribed in the ope-
rating manual! This work may only be carried out
by specialists. See maintenance plan. Always inform
operating personnel about special maintenance work
in advance! Name those responsible for supervision!
Observe all switching on or off processes in accor-
dance with the operating manual and instructions for
maintenance work when carrying out any work which
affects the operation, production adaptation, conversi-
on or settings to the machine and its safety devices, in
addition to inspection, maintenance and repair. Ensure
that the service area is secured if necessary!
If the machine has been completely switched off for
service and repair work, it must be secured against
unexpected switching on:
- remove the key
- attach a warning sign to the starting device.
Only carry out service and maintenance work if the
machine is placed on even and load-bearing ground,
and is secured against rolling away or tipping!
Individual components and larger subassemblies must
be carefully fixed to lifting gear before replacement,
and secured so that they cause no hazard. Only use sui-
table lifting equipment in technically good condition or
supporting equipment with suitable carrying capacity!
Do not stand or work under suspended loads!
Do not use machine components as aids for climbing!
Keep all areas free of dirt, snow and ice!
Clean the machine, especially connections and unions,
so that it is free of oil, fuel or cleaning materials before
beginning maintenance or repairs! Do not use aggres-
sive cleaning materials! Use fibre-free cleaning cloths!
Cover or stop up all openings which must be protec-
ted from water/steam/cleaning materials for safety or
functional reasons before cleaning the machine with
water, high-pressure cleaners or other cleaning ma-
terials. Electrical motors and other voltage-carrying
components are particularly at risk.
You must remove all covers or stoppers completely
after cleaning!
Check all fuel and oil hoses for leaks, loose unions,
abraded areas or damage after any cleaning work!
Repair any malfunctions found immediately! Always
retighten loosened screw connections after service and
maintenance work! If the removal of safety devices
was necessary during fitting, service or repairs, such
devices must be refitted and checked immediately after
completion of maintenance and repair work. Ensure
that fuel and oil is properly disposed of for safety and
environmental protection reasons! The machine’s elec-
trical equipment must be regularly inspected/checked.
Any faults such as loose collections or melted cables
must be repaired immediately.
When working on high-voltage components, connect
the power supply cable to ground and discharge com-
ponents such as capacitors with an earthing spike after
switching on the power! Never run internal combustion
motors in enclosed or confined spaces. The exhaust
fumes contain poisonous carbon monoxide gas. Follow
the regulations applying to the place of work!
You may only carry out welding, burning or grinding
work on the machine if this has been expressly appro-
ved. It is possible that fire or explosion hazard will
occur! Clean the machine and the surroundings from
dust and flammable materials and provide sufficient
ventilation before carrying out any welding, burning
or grinding work on the machine (explosion hazards).
Check all piping, hoses and the unions regularly for
leaks and other externally visible damage! Repair all
damage immediately! Spraying oil can lead to injuries
and burns. All machine sound insulation devices must
be set to safety during operation. Wear the prescribed
personal hearing protection! Observe the safety regu-
lations for handling oils, greases, and other chemical
substances which apply to the product concerned!
Take care when handling hot fuels and oils (danger of
burns or scalding)!
