SAFETY MAINTENANCE INFORMATION 2
WARNING TAG 2
q
Always attach the “DO NOT OPERATE“ warning tag to the
work equipment control lever in the operator's cab to alert
others that you are performing service or maintenance on
the machine. Attach additional warning tags around the
machine if necessary.
q
Keep this warning tag in the tool box while it is not used. If
there is no toolbox, keep the tag in the operation manual
pocket.
q
If another person starts the engine and operates the
control levers while the operator is providing for service,
this may result in serious injuries or even death.
KEEP THE WORK PLACE CLEAN AND ORDERLY 2
q
Do not leave hammers or other tools lying around in the cab. Remove any trace of grease, oil or other
substances that may cause the floor or the steps to become slippery. Always keep the cab clean and orderly,
in order to be able to carry out any operation in total safety. If the cab isn't clean, the operator runs the risk of
slipping, stumbling or even falling on the floor.
q
To clean the roof window, which is made of organic glass (polycarbonate), use tap water and avoid using
organic solvents. Organic solvents like benzene, toluene or methanol may cause a chemical reaction with
glass, thus deteriorating the polycarbonate surface.
STABILITY 2
q
When dismantling or assembling the machine for the purpose of maintenance or repair, always ensure that at
each stage of the process, care is taken to ensure that the machine remains stable. Failure to do this could
result in serious injury or death.
APPOINT A SUPERVISOR WHEN WORKING WITH OTHER PEOPLE 2
q
When carrying out repairs on the machine, or when installing or removing the work equipment, appoint a
supervisor and follow his/her instructions during work.

When working with other people, any misunderstanding may cause serious accidents.
