In case of frequent use the wear on the multi-discs brakes will be
very high, you should therefore never use the emergency stop
switch as a service brake.
1.2.5.2 Disconnecting the battery
In events of emergency, e.g. in case of a cable fire, disconnect the
battery from the vehicle network.
Pull out the main battery switch or lift off the battery pole to do so.
1.2.5.3 Towing the machine
Tow the machine only in case of emergency or to avoid an acci-
dent.
Before releasing the parking brake apply suitable measures to
secure the machine against unintended rolling.
Use a tractor vehicle with sufficient traction and braking power for
the unbraked towed load.
You should generally use a tow bar.
Before starting towing operations make sure that the fastening
means are able to withstand the load and are fastened at the
points provided for this purpose.
Before removing the towing facility apply appropriate measures to
secure the machine against unintended rolling.
1.2.6 Regeneration of exhaust gas aftertreatment system
During regeneration, the exhaust gas reaches very high tempera-
tures and the exhaust gas quantity increases - fire hazard!
Components of the exhaust gas aftertreatment system get very
hot.
Do not touch hot components or exhaust gases.
Ensure an adequate supply of fresh air.
Keep a safe distance to combustible or explosive materials.
When performing regeneration at standstill, park the machine out-
doors at a safe distance from any combustible or explosive mate-
rials.
