Safety 2
Preparatory measures
• Attach a warning label to the control elements (for example “Machine
being serviced, do not start”).
• Before performing assembly work on the machine, support the areas to
be serviced and use suitable lifting and supporting equipment for the
replacement of parts over 9 kg (20 lbs.).
• Perform maintenance only if:
- the machine is positioned on firm and level ground
- the machine is secured to prevent it from rolling away (for example
with the parking brake, wheel chocks), and if all attachments/the
work equipment is lowered to the ground
- the engine is stopped
- the starting key has been removed
- the pressure in the operating hydraulics has been released
• If maintenance has to be performed under a raised machine/
attachment, support the machine/attachment (for example with a lift
platform, trestles) ensuring safety and stability.
• Hydraulic cylinders or jacks alone do not sufficiently secure a raised
machine/attachment.
Measures for performing maintenance
• Perform only the maintenance described in this Operator’s Manual.
• All work that is not described in this Operator’s Manual must be
performed by qualified and authorized technical personnel.
• Follow the maintenance plan – see “Maintenance plan”.
• Always use specially designed or otherwise safety-oriented ladders
and working platforms to perform overhead maintenance. Do not use
machine parts or attachments as a climbing aid.
• Do not use attachments/work equipment as a lift platform for persons.
• Remove all dirt, snow and ice from climbing aids (for example
handholds, footholds, handrails).
• Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before working on the
electrical system.
