2 SAFETY
• When performing service that requires the lift arms to be in the raised
position, always utilize the lift arm brace.
• If safety equipment needs to be dismantled to fit equipment or perform
maintenance or repairs, it must be reattached and tested immediately after
the maintenance and repair jobs are completed.
• Clean the machine prior to beginning work. Clean especially the connections
and screw couplings of oil, fuel and upkeep materials at the beginning of
the maintenance/repair job.
• Do not use flammable liquids to clean the machine.
• Perform tasks on the machine that involve welding or grinding only if
approved by Terex. Clean the machine and the work area of dust and any
combustible materials before welding or grinding to avoid fire or explosion.
• Before cleaning the machine with water or steam jets (high pressure
cleaner) or other cleaning agents, cover or seal over all openings in which
water, steam or cleaning agents should not penetrate for safety and/or
functional reasons. Electrical motors, switch panels and plug connections
are especially subject to damage. Before cleaning, inspect all fuel, engine oil
and hydraulic oil lines for leaks, loose connections, rubbed spots and
damage. Repair or replace any damaged components immediately.
• When working with oils, greases and other chemical substances, observe all
safety requirements that apply to the product in question.
• Ensure that fuels, lubricants and coolants as well as replaced parts are
disposed of in an environmentally proper manner.
• Proceed carefully when working with hot lubricants, coolants and fuels
(danger of burns and scalding).
