0.1.1 - safety notes
For the machine to continue to function correctly, it is crucial that all repairs are performed properly by a service centre authorised to
repair and service these machines. The testing and repair techniques recommended and described in this manual are effective and
safe methods for obtaining good operation. Some of the described operations require the use of special and dedicated tools; these
can be requested from the Manufacturer who has specifically designed them for their intended purpose. DO NOT USE IMPROVISED
TOOLS; they could create potentially dangerous situations and do not always correspond to the specific functions for which they
are created and used. If a dangerous situation occurs or is anticipated, consider safety first of all and take the necessary actions to
handle the situation
0.1.2 - general safety
l
Even if you are completely familiar with the construction, functions and controls of this machine, always observe extreme cau-
tion when manoeuvring and operating the machine Always bear in mind that a machine brought to the workshop is in need of
repair or servicing, and may therefore react unpredictably to controls.
l
Before starting work, clean the machine thoroughly to remove mud, dust and gravel. Also clean the cab thoroughly to remove
all residue of oil, snow or ice from the steps, handles and grips normally used to access and leave the cab.

of the wheels while the engine is running.
l

(cleaning, draining fluids, repairs). Do not go near moving parts with long hair that has not been tied back, hair can get caught
and create serious injury.
l
Keep unauthorised persons away from the machine they must be required to remain at a safe distance.
l
Keep away from moving parts; with the engine on, some parts are not very visible and thus, even if protected, may represent
a potential danger of being drawn in.
l
When starting the engine, make sure that the area is well ventilated to avoid a build up of toxic gases; always apply the ex-
haust pipe of the forced fume extraction devices.
l

gine off.
l
Do not fill up fuel, oil or coolant with the engine running.

on board the machine.
l
Before working on the battery to check it or remove it, stop the engine and remove the key.
l
Remove the battery and recharge it in a well ventilated area and with a temperature greater than 0°C.
l
Do not smoke during battery testing and recharging, and do not go near it with open flames since the hydrogen emitted during
chemical reactions may explode.
l
The liquid (electrolyte) contained in the battery is dangerous for the skins and above all for the eyes; for this reason when test-
ing the battery always wear gloves and safety goggles with side shields. If you accidentally get electrolyte on you immediately
wash the contaminated parts for a long time with water; if your clothes are contaminated change them as quickly as possible.
If you accidentally swallow electrolyte, drink plenty of water, milk, vegetable oil and antacids such as magnesium, bicarbonate,
etc., and go to an emergency room as soon as possible.
l
If work needs to be done on the electrical circuits, disconnect the terminals from the battery.
