1.2.9 Topping up AdBlue
®
/DEF
If AdBlue
®
/DEF heats up to a temperature in excess of 50 °C
(122 °F) over a longer period of time, e.g. caused by direct insola-
tion, AdBlue
®
/DEF may disintegrate. This results in ammonia
vapours.
If you open the AdBlue
®
/DEF tank lid at high temperatures,
ammonia vapours may escape.
Ammonia vapours have a pungent smell and irritate, above all,
skin, mucous membranes and eyes. This can cause burning sen-
sations in eyes, nose and throat and also cause coughing and
watering eyes.
Do not inhale escaping ammonia vapours.
1.2.10 Emergency procedures
1.2.10.1
Actuating the emergency stop switch
In events of emergency and in case of danger actuate the emer-
gency stop switch immediately.
The machine is braked immediately, the engine is shut down.
Restart the machine only after the danger that caused the actua-
tion of the emergency stop switch has been eliminated.
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.
1.2.10.2
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.
1.2.10.3
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.
