SAFETY
• Use only the specified fluids and lubricants. Substitute only products known to be equivalent
from reputable manufacturers.
• Disconnect the battery cables when working on the electrical system
or when welding on the compactor.
• Be sure the battery area is well ventilated (clear of fumes) should it be
necessary to connect a jumper cable or battery charger. Fumes can
ignite from a spark and may explode.
• Be sure battery charger is OFF when making connections if charging is required.
• Use only original fuses with the specified rating. Switch off the machine immediately if
trouble occurs in the electrical system.
• work on the electrical system may only be carried out by a qualified electrician or by a
specially trained person according to electrical engineering principles.
• Inspect the electrical equipment of the machine at regular intervals. Defects such as loose
connections or burnt or scorched wires must be repaired or replaced immediately.
• Do not weld, flame cut or perform grinding on the machine unless expressly authorized,
as there may be a risk of fire or explosion. Disconnect the battery when welding on the
machine.
• Clean the machine and its surrounding from dust or other flammable substances and make
sure the area is adequately ventilated before beginning welding, flame cutting or grinding
operations.
• Inspect hydraulic hoses at regular intervals and immediately replace if they show signs of
chafing, cracking, brittleness, deformation, blistering, fitting separation, leakage, corrosion
or other damage which may affect their function or strength.
• Do not work on hydraulic system while the engine is running and the system is under
pressure. The hydraulic system remains pressurized even after the engine has stopped.
• Do not disconnect hydraulic hoses or fittings until the pressure has been properly relieved.
• wait until the systems and fluid have cooled down before disconnecting.
• Never use your hands to check for leaks when inspecting a hydraulic system. Use a piece
of cardboard and always wear gloves and safety glasses.
• Get immediate medical attention if fluid has been injected under your skin. Fluid penetration
from a pin hole leak can cause severe injury or death.
• Ensure that hydraulic lines and hoses are routed and fitted properly. Ensure that no
connections are interchanged. All fittings, lengths and specifications of hoses must comply
with the technical requirements.
• Observe all product safety regulations when handling fuel, oils, grease, engine coolant and
other chemical substances. Be careful especially when these items are hot as there is a risk
of burning or scalding.
• Operate internal combustion engines and fuel operated heating systems
only in adequately ventilated premises. Before starting the engine in an
enclosed area, make sure there is sufficient ventilation.
