6.1 General notes on maintenance
When performing maintenance work always comply with the appro-
priate safety regulations.
Thorough maintenance of the machine guarantees far longer safe
functioning of the machine and prolongs the lifetime of important
components. The effort needed for this work is only little compared
with the problems that may arise when not observing this rule.
The terms right/left correspond with travel direction forward.
Support the engine hood for all maintenance and repair work.
Do not touch hot engine parts.
Always clean machine and engine thoroughly before starting
maintenance work.
For maintenance work stand the machine on level ground.
Perform maintenance work only with the engine shut down.
Relieve hydraulic pressures before working on hydraulic
lines.
Before working on electric parts of the machine disconnect
the battery and cover it with insulation material.
When working in the area of the articulated joint attach the
articulation lock (transport lock).
ENVIRONMENT!
During maintenance work catch all oils and fuels and
do not let them seep into the ground or into the
sewage system. Dispose of oils and fuels environmen-
tally.
Keep used filters in a separate waste container and
dispose of environmentally.
Catch biodegradable oils separately.
The lifetime of the diesel engine depends to a great extent on the
cleanliness of the fuel.
Keep fuel free of contaminants and water, since this will
damage the injection elements of the engine.
Drums with inside zinc lining are not suitable to store fuel.
When choosing the storage place for fuel make sure that
spilled fuel will not harm the environment.
Do not let the hose stir up the slurry at the bottom of the
drum.
The fuel drum must rest for a longer period of time before
drawing off fuel.
The rest in the drum is not suitable for the engine and should
only be used for cleaning purposes.
