European safety standards require that is possible to check the locked position of the quick coupler

ly that all the locking of the quick coupler is complete and secure. Follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions carefully, including the installation of any safety device, if required.
q
Check daily that the hoses and fittings in the quick coupler piping system are in good condition. Pay
particular attention to the hoses and fittings at the arm end as these can be damaged easily. In case of
damage or leakage of oil stop work. Loss of oil could lead to the bucket or attachment falling and killing
an exposed person. The damage or leakage must be repaired before continuing work.
