9.16 Battery handling
-
Battery contains corrosive sulfuric acid
– handle the battery with care! When handling the
battery wear protective clothing and eyewear.
-
Avoid contact with clothes or skin; if electrolyte gets on your skin or clothes flush with a lot of
water.
-
In case of contact with eyes, flush with a lot of water for at least 15 minutes and call a doctor
immediately.
-
Do not smoke when handling the battery.
-
Do not touch the battery terminals or cables with tools that may cause spark emissions.
-
In order to avoid spark emissions always disconnect the (-) cable first and connect it last.
9.17 Handling of fuel and oil products
-
Do not let any oil leak on the ground.
-
Use oil qualities recommended by the manufacturer. Do not mix different oil types and/or
brands with each other.
-
When handling oil always wear appropriate protective equipment.
-
Before refueling always stop the combustion engine / electric motor and disconnect from
mains current.
-
Only use fuels recommended by the engine manufacturer. Do not mix any additives with the
fuel.
-
If fuel or oil gets into eyes, mouth or open wound, clean immediately with a lot of water or
designated fluid and call a doctor.
Check hydraulic hoses and components only when the engine is stopped and with pressure released
from the hydraulic system. Do not operate the machine if you have noticed faults or leaks in hydraulic
system. Ejection of hydraulic fluid can cause burns or penetrate the skin and cause serious injuries.
Consult a doctor immediately if hydraulic fluid penetrates your skin. Wash carefully with water and
soap any body part that has come in contact with hydraulic oil. Hydraulic oil is also harmful to the
environment
– prevent oil leakages. Only use hydraulic oil type approved by the manufacturer.
Never handle pressurized hydraulic components, because in case of
failure on a fitting or component ejection of high pressure hydraulic
fluid can cause tipping over of the machine and serious injuries. Do
not operate the machine if you have noticed a fault in the hydraulic
system.
Check hydraulic hoses for eventual cracks and wear. Follow the
wear of the hoses and stop operation if the outer layer of any hose has worn out. Check routing of the
hoses, adjust the hose clamps if necessary in order to prevent chafing. Hydraulic hoses have finite
service life and the expiration date is marked on the hoses. After that they have to be changed. If
there are signs of oil leakage, put a piece of cardboard under the probable leakage place in order to
find the leakage.
If you find a fault, operation of the access platform must be stopped immediately and the hose or the
component must be replaced. Contact Leguan service.
