General remarks on maintenance

Handling fuels and lubricants

Fuels and oils must always be handled properly and as
specified by the manufacturer.

Fuels and oils may only be stored in approved contain-
ers at specified places of storage. They can be inflam-
mable, therefore do not allow them to come in contact
with hot objects or with naked flames.

Exercise caution when handling fuels - increased dan-
ger of fire. Do not fill any fuels in the vicinity of naked
flames, ignition sparks or hot engine parts. No smoking
when refuelling!

Before refuelling, shut off the engine and remove the
ignition key. Do not refuel within enclosed spaces. Do
not spill fuels! (use suitable filling aids).

Exercise caution when handling brake fluid and battery
acid (poisonous and corrosive).

Only use clean vessels when filling fuel and oil.

When using fuels, oils and cleaners, follow the safety
and disposal instructions of the manufacturer.

Always avoid spilling. Eliminate spilled brake fluid
immediately with a suitable binding agent and discard
as specified by regulations.

Oils, fuels, batteries, brake fluid and filters must be
disposed of separately and as specified by regulations.

Before beginning lubrication, changing filter or opening
the hydraulic system, clean the area surrounding the
affected part carefully.

Replaced parts must be discarded in a way friendly to
the environment.

Observe all local and national laws and regulations.

CAUTION
The penetration of hydraulic oil under pres-
sure into the skin, eg through leaks, is dan-
gerous. If such injuries occur, seek medical
aid.
