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.
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 envi-
ronmentally.
Keep used filters in a separate waste container
and dispose of environmentally.
Catch biodegradable oils separately.
The lifetime of the engine mainly depends on the purity 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.
Keep used filters in a separate waste container and dispose
of environmentally.
The fuel drum must rest for a longer period of time before
drawing off fuel.
Under no circumstances must the drum be rolled to the tap-
ping point just before drawing out 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.
Do not draw off fuel from near the bottom of the drum.
