Hydraulic system
WARNING!
Danger of injury due to liquids under
pressure!
Sudden releases of pressure and a stream
of liquid escaping under pressure can
cause injuries.
– Only allow work on the hydraulic
system to be performed by a hydraulic
expert.
– Only begin work on systems with pres-
sure accumulator after complete
release of the hydraulic pressure and
checking of the de-pressurisation.
– Never hold body parts or objects in a
stream of liquid.
– Catch and dispose of escaping liquids
properly.
Hot surfaces
WARNING!
Risk of injury from warm or hot sur-
faces.
Hot media and the rotation of the device
can cause the surfaces of components to
heat up considerably during operation.
Skin contact with hot surfaces causes
serious skin burns.
– When performing any work in the
vicinity of hot surfaces you must
always wear heat-resistant occupa-
tional safety clothing and protective
gloves.
– Before any work make sure that all sur-
faces have cooled to ambient tempera-
ture.
– Never cover warm or hot surfaces. This
can cause overheating.
