5.5.6. Welding
Never do any welding work on the ve-
hicle body and chassis. Disconnect the
vehicle’s electrical connection from the
tractor before welding on the parts. It is
recommended that you disconnect the
tractor as well. Connect the minus (-)
end of the welding machine as close as
possible to the welded part in order to
ensure sufficient contact with the part to
be welded. Do not connect the negative
(-) end to the bracket holders or the axle.
Take care that welding sparks or slags
do not fall on the bellows, air hoses,
bracket holders etc.
Do not make any welding interventions
to the tankers without gas-free (gas-free
cleaning process) and gas measurement
results without reliable gas-free certifi-
cate. Otherwise, there will be risks of ex-
plosion, fire and work accident due to the
petroleum products transported.
5.5.7. Spare Wheels
Keep spare tires ready for use at all
times.

Considerations
For
the
Environment
Pollution in all its forms poses a threat to
the environment. To keep the pollution at
a minimum, collect the waste materials
carefully and dispose of them in accord-
ance with the regulations of your country.
ENVIRONMENT -
Disposal of the battery
in an inappropriate place may harm the
environment and human health. If you
need to dispose of the battery, follow lo-
cal regulations. If you do not know how
to dispose of it, take it to the most appro-
priate service point. The symbol on the
battery indicates that this product should
not be disposed of.
Health and Safety
•
Keep sparks and fire away from the
battery. The battery emits explosive
gas that can cause an explosion.
•
Wear eye protection and rubber
gloves while working on the battery,
otherwise the battery hand-control
may cause burn and serious dam-
age including blindness in your
eyes.
•
Under no circumstances allow chil-
dren to handle the battery. Make
sure that anyone dealing with the
battery is familiar with the proper
use of the battery and its hazards.
•
Pay close attention to the battery
electrolyte as it contains diluted sul-
furic acid. Contact with your skin
and eyes may cause burns or loss
of eyesight.
•
Carefully read and understand this
manual before working on the bat-
tery. Failure to follow instructions
may result in injury and vehicle
damage.
•
Do not use the battery if the electro-
lyte level is at or below the recom-
mended level. Using the battery with
a low electrolyte level can cause ex-
plosion and serious injury.
If there are wasted oil and wasted oil
contact materials in your vehicle, pay
attention to the following warnings.
When disposing of products/wastes such
as used oil, hydraulic oil, do not dis-
charge into channels, sewers, landfills,
or soil. This is against the legislation of
all countries.
