7.1 MAINTENANCE SAFETY
Compressed air
Compressed air is dangerous. Always wear personal
protective equipment. Never aim the compressed air
nozzle at yourself or others.
Springs
Always wear personal protective equipment when
removing assemblies containing spring-loaded
components. This will protect you from potential eye
injuries caused by flying parts.
Metal chips
You may be injured by flying metal chips when pulling out
or inserting metal pins. Use a soft surface hammer or a
copper mandrel for insertion or removal i.e. pulling out
metal pins. Always wear personal protective equipment.
Repairs
In the event of a fault or malfunction of the mower, have
the fault repaired immediately. Neglecting the necessary
repairs could lead to an accident or adversely affect your
health. Do not perform any repairs or maintenance work
that you do not understand. Get the job done by an
expert to prevent injury or damage to the mower.
Electric arc welding on the mower is prohibited.
Hydraulic pressure
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can hurt you. Before
connecting or disconnecting any hydraulic hose, the hose
must be free of any hydraulic pressure. Secure the
mower so that it cannot be started when the hoses are
open.
O-rings, gaskets and gaskets
Poorly fitted, damaged or blistered O-rings and gaskets
may cause leaks and accidents. In case of damage,
replace them if no other instructions have been given. Do
not use trichloroethane (TCA) or paint thinners near 'O'
rings and seals.
Soft soil
The mower can sink into a soft soil.
Hot parts
Contact with hot surfaces can cause skin burns. The
engine and mower components will be hot after
operation. Allow the engine and components to cool
down before servicing.
Lifting the mower
Under no circumstances should the engine run while
lifting the mower. If the joystick is inadvertently moved,
stability may be at risk
Hygiene
Excessive or prolonged contact of lubricants with the skin
can remove natural fats from the skin, causing dryness
and irritation.
Fluids and lubricants
The oil is poisonous. If you swallow oil, do not induce
vomiting, but seek medical attention. Used engine oil
contains harmful fumes that can cause skin cancer. Do
not handle used oil more than necessary. Always use a
protective cream or wear gloves to avoid contact with the
skin. Wash the oil-stained skin thoroughly with warm
soapy water. Do not use gasoline, diesel fuel or paraffin
to clean the skin.
Fluid under pressure
Thin jets of fluid escaping from the nozzles at high
pressure can penetrate the skin. Protect your face and
hands from fluid under pressure and wear personal
protective equipment. Hold cardboard where you suspect
a leak, and then check for any traces of hydraulic fluid.
Seek medical advice immediately if hydraulic fluid
penetrates the skin.
Fuel
Fuel is flammable, so protect the fuel system from open
flames. If you suspect a fuel leak, stop the engine
immediately. Do not smoke when refueling or working on
the fuel system. Do not refuel while engine is running.
Clean any spilled fuel as it may cause a fire. Failure to
observe these precautions may result in fire or injury.
Storage
Lubricants should always be stored so that children do
not have access to them.
Never store the lubricant in open or unlabeled containers.
FIRST AID
– OIL
Eyes
If you get oil in your eyes, it should be washed with water
for about 15 minutes. If irritation persists afterwards, seek
medical attention.
Ingestion
If you accidentally swallow oil, do not try to induce
vomiting. Check with your doctor.
Skin
In case of excessive skin contact with oil, wash with
water and soap.
Oil spill
Allow spilled oil to soak into sand or absorbent granules
that are allowed in the area. The stains should then be
scraped off and disposed in an appropriate waste
container or landfill.
