GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Carefully read this Manual before proceeding with
maintenance, repairs, refuelling or other machine
operations.
Repairs have to be carried out only by authorized
and instructed staff; specific precautions have to be
taken when grinding, welding or when using mallets
or heavy hammers.
Not authorized persons are not allowed to repair or
carry out maintenance on this machine. Do not carry
out any work on the equipment without prior authori-
zation.
Ask your employer about the safety instructions in
force and safety equipment.
Nobody is allowed to seat on the operator’s place
during machine maintenance unless he is a qualified
operator helping with the maintenance work.
If it is necessary to move the equipment to carry out
repairs or maintenance, do not lift or lower the equip-
ment from any other position than the operator’s
seat.
Never carry out any operation on the machine when
the engine is running, except when specifically indi-
cated.
Stop the engine and ensure that all pressure is re-
lieved from hydraulic circuits before removing caps,
covers, valves, etc.
All repair and maintenance operations should be
carried out with the greatest care and attention.
Service stairs and platforms used in a workshop or
in the field should be built in compliance with the
safety rules in force.
Any functional disorders, especially those affecting
the safety of the machine, should therefore be recti-
fied immediately.
