SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
F156.6 / F156.6A
Carefully read personal and machine SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (at the beginning of this manual)
BRAKES
PERSONAL
Do not carry out inspection and
maintenance work on brakes unless
you are qualified for working on
brake systems.
If in doubt, have the work performed
by our after-sales service.
Read and observe the instructions in
the section: "Inspection and serv-
icing - General instructions".
SECURING THE MACHINE
Inspection and maintenance work on
brakes should only be carried out if
the machine has been secured as de-
scribed in the section "Securing the
machine".
HEALTH PRECAUTIONS
Do not inhale abraded particles from
brake linings. Wear a breathing
mask.
ACCUMULATORS
Accumulators are installed in the hy-
draulic system. These accumulators
contain nitrogen under high initial
pressure.
Even when the hydraulic pressure in
the system is reduced, the nitrogen
remains in the accumulator.
The accumulators are completely
safe in operation. If incorrectly han-
dled, however, there is a risk of ex-
plosion.
So:
- Never handle accumulator me-
chanically, never weld or solder it.
- Testing and servicing work must be
carried out by experts only.
- Prior to any testing and servicing
work, depressurize the hydraulic
part of the system.
- To dismantle the accumulator, al-
ways wear goggles and working
gloves.
- Fill accumulator with nitrogen only,
never with compressed air or ox-
ygen.
- Report any defects or damage to
the machine owner without delay.
- Prior to recommissioning, an in-
spection by a specialist or expert is
essential if the accumulator was
damaged or if the admissible oper-
ating temperature or operating
pressure was exceeded.
Never remove or paint over warning
and information plates, rating plates
or type identification markings. Re-
place illegible or damaged plates im-
mediately.
