During washing operations of the outside of the machine, the operator must avoid any contamination of the
environment. Wash the machine in a place with facilities available to collect all the residues of the machine
washing. These residues have to be collected in suitable containers and recycled as per the Standards in force
in the country of use. It is absolutely forbidden to waste the rinse liquid into the drain or in the environment.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTING FIRE
The machine is made of several potentially inflammable materials derived by petrol, the oils as well and the
chemicals residues are potentially flammable.
The operator has to be informed about all fire hazards and fire prevents procedures.
All fuels, hydraulic oils and lubricants are flammable.
Do not smoke during fuel filling.
Do not smoke while handling fuels or oils, do not pour fuels close to flames.
Do not fill completely the fuel tank, to avoid fuel leakage (fuel will expand with temperature
increase).
Fuel leakgae over hot surfaces can cause fire.
Do not fill fuel in potentially dangerous environment (fire risk or explosion risk).
Stop the engine before refuelling, do not handle fuel in a closed room.
Fill-up fuel tank outside, in a well ventilated place, with engine stopped and cool and machine stopped with
park brake engaged.
Before starting the engine, make sure that there are no leaks or fuel residues that could start fire.
Short circuits can start fire . Periodically check the condition of the battery terminals, cables and electric
equipment.
Stock flammable substances in proper places , do not drill or burn pressurised containers or bottles, do not
store up materials drenched with flammable substances.
Periodically clean and wash the machine with pressure cleaner and/or compressed air to reduce the risk of
combustion.
Always use proper type of fire–extinguishers: carbonic anhydride, foam, chemical powder.
Avoid the use of jets of water. Use water only to cool the surfaces exposed to fire.
Never use gasoline, solvents or flammable substances to clean mechanical components: use only proper
homologated non-flammable and non-toxic solvents.
Do not weld close to tanks, hoses, electric cables, elctronic devices (CPU, sensors, etc.) or flammable
materials.
In case of weld protect all flammable components with proper shields.
Carefully clean the whole machine at least once a week.
