PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE
46
2.8.7 USE OF THE ENGINE DURING MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
• During maintenance operations, let the engine run only when indispensable. If it is necessary to have the engine
running (for example, to wash the cooling circuit or to check the functionality of the alternator), an operator
should constantly remain in the cab, in order to be able to stop the engine whenever necessary.
• During maintenance operations with running engine, never move the control locking devices from the “lock” po-
sition or change the position of the travel levers.
Service personnel must not move any control lever.
• When carrying out maintenance operations, do not touch the moving parts of the machine and avoid wearing
large and loose clothes.
2.8.8 PERIODICAL CHANGE OF THE PARTS THAT ARE CRITICAL FOR
SAFETY
• Periodically change the following parts, which are important to prevent fires.
Fuel supply system: fuel delivery and return pipes.
Hydraulic system: main delivery pipes of the hydraulic pump.
• Even if they seem to be in good conditions, these components must be periodically changed with new ones. In
fact, these components tend to deteriorate over time.
• If one of these parts is defective, change or repair it even if the change interval has not elapsed yet. (See "4.7
2.8.9 STOP THE ENGINE BEFORE CARRY-
ING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE OPER-
ATION OR INSPECTION
• Stop the machine only on firm and level ground and stop the en-
gine before carrying out any maintenance operation or inspec-
tion.
• If the engine must turn during a maintenance operation, shift the
safety device lever to the LOCK position and carry out the main-
tenance operation with the help of another person; one operator
must remain on the machine and the words and signs to be
used must be agreed upon in advance.
• The person who carries out the maintenance operation must be
very careful not to touch any moving part of the engine.
