Handling oil/grease
Carefully read through the warning information on the oil and
grease products you are using, and follow their instructions accura-
tely.
• Avoid skin contact with oil and grease during service work.
• Wear the correct protective clothing.
• Never clean your hands with lubricating oil or grease. This can damage your skin.
• If oil or grease causes changes to your skin, seek medical attention immediately.
• The law demands that all waste oil be dealt with and disposed of at the correct place during service
and maintenance.
2.5.7
Repair welding
If repairs or modifications require welding work, you must first contact your dealer, who will provide
you with the necessary welding instructions. Incorrect welding or ignorance during welding can result
in sudden breaks in the structure.
2.5.8
Working in extreme conditions
The recommended ambient working temperature for this machine is -30°C to +40°C. Note that when
working in low or high temperatures, the level of wear and stress on seals and hoses increases. The du-
rability of the steel is also impaired, and cracks can occur.
When working under extreme conditions, work with smaller loads than normal in order to prevent dam-
age. When working in cold conditions, always allow the hydraulic fluid to circulate freely for a number
of minutes. Then operate each function a number of times to allow seals and hoses to soften up before
applying full pressure. During extremely warm periods, take care with the temperature of the oil. Tem-
peratures of above 80°C destroy the oil’s properties and damage seals and hoses.
