Remove the hydraulic compactor from the carrier
(see chapter
Removing the hydraulic attachment

) to carry out repairs.
WARNING
Hydraulic system under high pressure
Carrying out repairs on the pressurised hydraulic attach-
ment may lead to serious injury. Connections may come
loose unexpectedly, parts may move suddenly and hy-
draulic oil may squirt out.
u
Depressurise the hydraulic system before carrying
out repairs to the hydraulic attachment or the carrier
(see chapter
Depressurising the hydraulic sys-
tem
).
WARNING
Hot hydraulic oil squirting out
The hydraulic system is under high pressure. If hydraulic
connections come loose or are disconnected, hydraulic
oil will squirt out under high pressure. Hydraulic lines
may spring a leak or burst. Hydraulic oil squirting out can
lead to serious injury.
u
Depressurise the hydraulic system before carrying
out repairs to the hydraulic attachment or the carrier
(see chapter
Depressurising the hydraulic sys-
tem
).
u
Depressurise the hydraulic system according to the
manufacturer's safety and operating instructions for
the carrier.
WARNING
Hot parts
Parts of the hydraulic compactor, hoses, pipes and fit-
tings become very hot during operation. Touching them
may lead to burns.
u
Never touch hot parts.
u
If you have to carry out activities where you have to
touch the parts, wait for them to cool down first.
WARNING
Hands and fingers being cut off or hurt
Bores and surfaces can act like a pair of scissors and
cut off or hurt parts of your body.
u
Never use your fingers to check bores or fitting sur-
faces.
NOTICE
Environmental damage due to hydraulic oil
Hydraulic oil is environmentally harmful and must not
penetrate the ground or enter the water table or water
supplies.
u
Collect any hydraulic oil which escapes.
u
Dispose of it in accordance with the applicable envi-
ronmental regulations.
9.1 Sending in the hydraulic
attachment for repairs
NOTICE
Mixed hydraulic oil
Never mix mineral and non-mineral hydraulic oils! Even
small traces of mineral oil mixed in with non-mineral oil
can result in damage to both the hydraulic attachment
and the carrier. Non-mineral oil loses its biodegradability.
u
Only use one type of hydraulic oil.
n
Always specify which hydraulic oil has been used
when sending in the hydraulic attachment to have it
repaired.
