Safety
Obey the safety instructions
Obey the safety instructions at the execution of all work. Any disregard
for safety instructions can lead to serious or fatal injuries.
»Safety instructions«, see page 8.
Searching for hydraulic oil leaks
Never search for leaks by touching hydraulic hoses and hydraulic
connections, even when your hands are protected with a protective
skin cream or oil-resistant gloves.
Due to high pressure and very little holes in case of leakages, the
hydraulic oil will go through protection devices and your skin! Hydraulic
oil may come into your bloodstream, which is lifethreatening!
Wear safety shoes
During all jobs at the machine never bring your feet under the machine
and always wear safety shoes, to decrease the risk of serious injuries.
Conditions for maintenance jobs
Only carry out maintenance jobs if you have the required expertise
and the suitable tools. The absence of technical knowledge or
unsuitable tools can cause accidents or damages.
Use genuine parts
Only genuine parts are specially designed and thoroughly tested for
the use at this machine. Only genuine parts will guarantee the reliability
and safety of the machine. Other products can interrupt functioning of
the machine or make the machine unsafe. When using non-genuine
parts the warranty and liability of the manufacturer reduces to nil and
void.
