Safety Regulations
PERFORMING MAINTENANCE WORK SAFELY
- Do not leave tools or other instruments laying around in
a disorderly fashion at the work site. Clean traces of gre-
ase, oil and other substances that could cause slipping.
Always keep the work site clean and organised in order
to guarantee safe operation of the vehicle. .
- Always deposit cloths soaked with grease and/or inflam -
mable materials in a safe container to ensure safety at
the work site.
- Only use attachments that are appropriate for the job
and ensure their proper use. The use of damaged, de-
fective, unsuitable and poor quality equipment may cau-
se serious injury.
- Do not hit the vehicle or its parts with a hammer or any
other instrument, as projected fragments could cause
injury.
- If inspection or maintenance is carried out on vehicles
which are still covered with mud, oil, etc., operators risk
sliding or falling and the analysis of components is made
more difficult. Carefully clean the vehicle before repair or
maintenance work is carried out.
Before performing maintenance work on your vehicle, do
the following:
Park the vehicle on flat, even ground.
Lower and completely retract the boom.
Keep the boom raised and mount the safety rod if main-
tenance work must be carried out with the boom raised.
Run the engine at a minimum for 60 seconds to cool it
down.
Switch off the key in the ignition switch.
Remove the key from the ignition.
Release any residual pressure from the hydraulic sy-
stem, by repeatedly moving the hydraulic distribution
levers with the engine switched off.
Hang up a sign that indicates maintenance work is un-
derway. This sign can be hung on the manipulators or
the cab door.
Set up barriers and spacers to prevent unauthorised per-
sonnel from approaching the vehicle.
Disconnect the battery isolator switch.
Allow the engine to cool down.
- Ensure you are familiar with maintenance procedures
before starting work.
- Keep the work zone clean and dry.
- Do not lubricate parts or carry out maintenance work
when the vehicle is in motion.
