•
Make sure all moving parts of the accessories are completely stopped before
performing any maintenance.
•
Always use a security system to block the tires, such as parking chocks.
Never use a jack to support or sustain the machine while performing such
work.
•
Always use tools and equipment best suited for the type of work done by
hand. Always wear protective gloves and use extreme caution when making
adjustments.
•
Replace all covers and protections when repairs have been done, and
before moving the mixer.
•
When the work is done, ensure that all tools, parts and equipment that have
been involved in the service are put away.
•
Fluid
escaping
under
pressure
can
penetrate the skin and wounds
through small
openings and cause serious injury or death.
•
Avoid this hazard by relieving hydraulic
pressure before disconnecting any hydraulic
line. Tighten all connections before applying
pressure.
•
Never use your hands to locate hydraulic leaks in
pressurized pipes.
Look for possible leaks with a
small piece of cardboard which shows the oil and
protect hands and body from high pressure fluids.
•
If an accident like this happened, go to the nearest
medical facility immediately. The fluid injected into
the skin must be surgically removed within a few
hours or gangrene may result.
•
Do not allow grease to accumulate and eliminate any spilled oil immediately
from the ladder and operator platform and other access areas. Keep access
to all areas clean and free of obstacles.
•
Never replace the original screws with others of less than grade eight (8.8),
unless otherwise specified.
