tion. Repeat this process every 5 operating hours. Apply
a little grease or spray oil.
The beam must not run dry.
Hydraulics
The hydraulic system is a closed type with oil tank, oil
pump, and control valve.
This system is completely assembled at the factory and
must not be modified or manipulated.
Check oil level regularly.
A low oil level will damage the oil pump.
Inspect the hydraulic connectors regularly for leakage -
tighten if necessary.
Before you commence maintenance or inspection work,
clean the working area and keep suitable tools in good
condition ready.
The intervals mentioned here apply for normal operating
conditions; if the machine is heavily used, the intervals
will be shorter accordingly.
Clean the machine panels, covers, and control levers with
a soft cloth, dry or moistened with a little neutral cleaning
agent. Do not use solvents such as alcohol or petrol, as
this might damage the surfaces.
Keep oil and grease out of reach of unauthorized per-
sonnel. Read the instructions on the product containers
carefully and observe them precisely. Avoid direct contact
with skin and wash off well after use.
Accident Prevention Standards
The machine may only be operated by qualified personnel
who are well aware of the contents of this manual.
Before operating the machinery, you must check the in-
tegrity of the safety mechanisms and ensure that they are
working properly.
Also before operation, you should familiarise yourself with
the machine controls, following the operating instructions.
The specified capacity of the machine must not be ex-
ceeded. Under no circumstances the machine must be
used for anything else but its indented use.
All personnel must wear work clothes as stated in the
regulations of the country in which the machine is oper-
ated. Wide, loose clothing, belts, rings, and necklaces
should not be worn. Long hair should be tied back.
Try to keep the working area tidy at all times. Tools, acces-
sories, and spanners should be kept within reach.
During cleaning or maintenance work the machine must
not be connected to the mains supply.
It is strictly prohibited to operate the machine without
safety mechanisms or with safety mechanisms disen-
gaged.
It is strictly prohibited to remove or modify safety mecha-
nisms.
You should not carry out any maintenance or adjustments
before having carefully read this manual.
The given maintenance schedule must be observed for
safety reasons as well as to ensure that the machine per-
forms properly.
The warning labels must be always clean and legible and
must be observed in order to avoid accidents. If labels
are damaged or missing or belong to parts that were re-
placed, then those labels must be replaced by original
labels ordered from the manufacturer and be attached at
the positions prescribed.
In case of fire, dry powder fire extinguishing agents must
be used. A burning machine must not be extinguished
with water because of the risk of a short circuit.
If the fire cannot be extinguished immediately, watch for
liquids leaking.
If the fire is more widespread, the oil tank or the pressur-
ised lines can explode: Therefore, make sure that you are
not getting into contact with the leaking liquids.
Dismantling and Disposal
The machine does not contain any materials that are
hazardous to health or the environment, because it is
manufactured from materials that are either completely
recyclable or can be disposed in a normal way.
For disposal, you should use specialist companies or qual-
ified personnel, who know the possible risks and have read
these operating instructions and follow them precisely.
If the machine falls into disuse, follow these steps under
observance of all applicable accident prevention meas-
ures:
• Disconnect the energy supply (electrical or PTO),
• Remove all electrical wires and hand over to a special-
ised collecting point, while observing national regula-
tions.
• Drain the oil tank and deliver the oil in a closed con-
tainer to a collecting point, while observing national
regulations.
• Deliver all other machine parts to a scrap collection
point, while observing national regulations.
Make sure every part of the machine is disposed of in ac-
cordance with all applicable national regulations.
