8.1 MAIN
WARNINGS
Do not wear rings, wrist watches, jewellery, unbuttoned and loose clothing such as ties, torn clothing, scarves, unbuttoned
jackets or blouses with open zips that might become entangled in the moving parts. We recommend wearing approved
accident-prevention clothing, such as: helmets, non-slip shoes, gloves, earmuffs, retroreflecting jackets, respirators, safety
goggles, when the work requires it. Consult the employer on the safety prescriptions in force and the accident-prevetion
devices.
• Apply "Machine under verification" sign at machine side.
• Never go underneath the machine when this is slightly lifted.
• Start the engine in a well ventilated area.
• Ensure no persons are within the action range, before starting the machine.
8.1.1 Environmental
protection
All maintenance, cleaning, replacement of machine parts, must be carried out fully respecting the environment.
• Th exhaust oils and greases must be collected in suitable containers and delivered to appropriate disposal centres.
• The same must happen for all lubricant contaminated parts, such as filters, rubber piping, gaskets, etc.
• Plastic parts (lids, protections, etc.) must be differently collected.
• The metallic parts can be delivered to appropriate scrapping centres, as long as without lubricants and other residues.
8.1.2 Maintenance
instructions
• Many accidents and damages are due to scarce maintenance or errors made throughout it. The main causes for accidents
are attributable to:
- no oil, grease or anti-freeze;
- dirt accumulated on the different units or components;
- broken ropes or slings;
- safety devices not in perfect conditions or out of use.
- hydraulic deficiency, e.g. damaged flexible hoses and slow fittings.
• For your safety also, accurately perform maintenance.
• Never postpone maintenance or repair work.
• Only appoint trained personnel to carry out repair work.
• Always follow the maintenance and repair procedures, requesting pre-emptive authorisation.
• Before removing protections and lids, stop the engine and ensure the pressure has been discharged in all plants.
• Never place the head, body, limbs, hands, feet or fingers inside a shear area, without guards, without having firstly securely
blocked parts that can move.
• Never align holes or slots with fingers: use an adequate centring tool.
• Protect yourself using goggles with side guards, when using compressed air to clean parts. Limit the pressure to a maximum
of 2 bar.
• Service ladders or platforms used in the workshop or at work, must respect the current accident-prevention standards.
• Never use petrol or solvents or other flammable liquids such as detergents. Use authorised, non-flammable and non-toxic
trade solvents.
• Do not lubricate, repair or adjust the machine when running, unless expressely requested by the Use and Maintenance
Manual.
• In accordance with the specific safety standards in force, block the machine and all equipment to be lifted.
• Avoid improperly using tools or in bad conditions. e.g. grippers instead of the universal wrench, etc.
• Maintain the maintenance area clean and dry and immediately dry any water and oil traces.
• Pressurised fluid leaks through small holes are almost invisible and can have enough force to pierce the skin. It is important
to protect the eyes using safety goggles, provided with side lenses also, before checking for leaks. Search for any pressurised
liquid leaks by using a piece of cardboard or wood, never the hands. Injuries caused by pressurised fluis can lead to
serious infections: we recommend contacting a doctor for immediate intervention with appropriate care.
• Ensure to have discharged any residue pressure, before disassembling or loosening the piping and hydraulic system fittings.
• Do not accumulate oily or greasy cloths as they constitute a fire hazard. Said cloths must be placed in a closed metallic
container.
• Immediately replace any illegible or missing Danger, Attention or instruction plate.
• Before starting the machine, ensure no tools or other materials are left inside the compartments containing the moving parts
or near moving parts once maintenance or repair is completed.
• Preserve the machine's and equipment's good state.
• Replace the faulty or excessively worn components with Original Spare Parts.
It is forbidden to use naked flames as means of lighting or when checking components or searching for leaks on
the machine.
