SECTION 00 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 5
Z
Whenever there is the possibility of being reached
by ejected metal parts or similar, use protection
eye mask or goggles with side guards, helmets,
special footwear and heavy gloves. Whenever it is
necessary to carry out welding operations, it is
necessary to wear suitable personal protective de-
vices: tinted eye protection, helmets, special cloth-
ing, gloves and safety shoes. All persons standing
in the vicinity of the welding process should wear
tinted eye protection. NEVER LOOK AT THE
WELDING ARC IF YOUR EYES ARE NOT SUIT-
ABLY PROTECTED.
Z
Metal cables with the use get frayed. Always wear
adequate protections (heavy gloves, eye protec-
tion, etc.).
Z
Handle all parts with the greatest caution. Keep
your hands and fingers far from gaps, moving
gears and similar. Always use approved protective
equipment, such as eye protection, heavy gloves
and protective footwear.
START UP
Z
Never run the engine in confined spaces which are
not equipped with adequate ventilation for exhaust
gas extraction.
Z
Never bring your head, body, arms, legs, feet,
hands, fingers near fans or rotating belts.
ENGINE
Z
Always loosen the radiator cap very slowly before
removing it to allow pressure in the system to dis-
sipate. Coolant should be topped up only when the
engine is stopped or idle if hot.
Z
Do not fill up fuel tank when the engine is running,
mainly if it is hot, to avoid ignition of fires in case of
fuel spilling.
Z
Never check or adjust the fan belt tension when the
engine is running. Never adjust the fuel injection
pump when the machine is moving.
Z
Never lubricate the machine when the engine is
running.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
Z
If it is necessary to use auxiliary batteries, cables
must be connected at both sides as follows: (+) to
(+) and (-) to (-). Avoid short-circuiting the termi-
nals. GAS RELEASED FROM BATTERIES IS
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. During charging, leave the
battery compartment uncovered to improve venti-
lation. Avoid checking the battery charge by
means of “jumpers” made by placing metallic ob-
jects across the terminals. Avoid sparks or flames
near the battery area. Do not smoke to prevent ex-
plosion hazards.
Z
Prior to any service, check for fuel or coolant leaks.
Remove these leaks before going on with the work.
Do not charge batteries in confined spaces. En-
sure that ventilation is appropriate to prevent acci-
dental explosion hazard due to build-up of gasses
relieved during charging.
Z
Always disconnect the batteries before performing
any type of service on the electrical system.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
Z
Some fluid slowly coming out from a very small
port can be almost invisible and be strong enough
to penetrate the skin. For this reason, use a piece
of cardboard or a piece of wood for checking. NEV-
ER USE YOUR HANDS. If any fluid is injected into
the skin, seek medical aid immediately. Lack of im-
mediate medical attention, serious infections or
dermatitis may result.
Z
Always take system pressure readings using the
appropriate gauges.
WHEELS AND TYRES
Z
Check that the tyres are correctly inflated at the
pressure specified by the manufacturer. Periodi-
cally check possible damages to the rims and
tyres.
Z
Keep off and stay at the tyre side when correcting
the inflation pressure.
Z
Check the pressure only when the machine is un-
loaded and tyres are cold to avoid wrong readings
due to over-pressure. Do not reuse parts of recov-
ered wheels as improper welding, brazing or heat-
ing may weaken the wheel and make it fail.
Z
Never cut, nor weld a rim with the inflated tyre as-
sembled.
Z
To remove the wheels, block both front and rear
Machine wheels. Raise the Machine and install
safe and stable supports under the Machine in ac-
cordance with regulations in force.
Z
Deflate the tyre before removing any object caught
into the tyre tread.
Z
Never inflate tyres using flammable gases as they
may originate explosions and cause injuries to by-
standers.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Z
Lift and handle all heavy components using lifting
equipment of adequate capacity. Ensure that parts
are supported by appropriate slings and hooks.
Use lifting eyes provided to this purpose. Take
care of the persons near the loads to be lifted.
Z
Handle all parts with great care. Do not place your
hands or fingers between two parts. Wear ap-
proved protective clothing such as safety goggles,
gloves and footwear.
Z
Do not twist chains or metal cables. Always wear
protection gloves to handle cables or chains.
