PROTECT AGAINST NOISE
PREPARE FOR EMERGENCIES
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impair-
ment or loss of hearing.
Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as
earmuffs or earplugs to protect against constant or
uncomfortably loud noise.
AVOID HIGH PRESSURE FLUIDS
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the
skin causing serious injury. Avoid this hazard by
relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or
other lines.
Relieve the pressure by moving the hydraulic con-
trol levers several times. Tighten all connections
before applying pressure. To protect the eyes wear
a facial shield or safety goggles.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard; protect
hands and body from high-pressure fluids.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor familiar with this
type of injury immediately.
Any fluid penetrating the skin must be removed
within few hours to avoid serious infections.
Hydraulic fluid or grease under pressure which pen-
etrates the skin can cause serious injury. Take the
necessary safety precautions (protective clothing
and face and hand protection) to prevent all such
risks. In addition, before handling these products,
read the manufacturer’s specific instructions for
their use.
When carrying out a welding operation on the
machine, as authorized by the Manufacturer and in
accordance with his specifications, disconnect the
alternator plug and connect the welding set earth
lead to the component on which the welding is to be
carried out. Never connect the earth lead to a
hydraulic system component.
