3.2 Before starting up or setting the machine in motion and during operation of the
machine make sure that nobody is at risk.
3.3 Before transporting the machine always check that the accessories have been
safely stowed away.
3.4 Make sure that there is enough lighting during work.
3.5 Avoid any operation that might be a risk to machine stability.
3.6 Check the machine at least after every operation for obvious damage and defects.
Report any changes (incl. changes in the machine’s working behaviour) to the competent
organization / person immediately. If necessary, stop the machine immediately and lock
it. All lines, hoses and screwed connections have to be checked for leaks and obvious
damage. Repair damage immediately. Splashed oil may cause injury and fire.
3.7 All safety equipment has to be checked for completeness and flawless condition:
- instruction markings and warning signs (safety instructions)
- check safety cover (e.g. motor-safety covers, heat protection etc.) if they are available
and if they are in good condition.
3.8 Do not stress hoses mechanically (pulling, buckling etc.).
3.9 When working in the vicinity of live components and cables, suitable precautions
must be taken to avoid current conductions or high-voltage flashovers.
3.10 During use of the tool, the creation of electrostatic charges which could result in
sparking must be prevented.
3.11 The tool should always be placed in such a way that its function and safety will
not be impaired by strong external temperature influences.
4 Instructions for maintenance and service
4.1 For the execution of maintenance and service work, tools and workshop equipment
adapted to the task on hand are absolutely indispensable.
Work on the hydraulic system must be carried out only by personnel having special
knowledge and experience with hydraulic equipment.
4.2 Before putting into operation clean the machine, especially connections and
threaded unions, of any traces of oil, fuel or preservatives before carrying out maintenance/
repair. Never use aggressive detergents. Use lint-free cleaning rags and pay attention
that the components are meticulously clean during reassembling after repair.
4.3 During dismantling of machines it is necessary to collect the outrunning hydraulic
liquids completely, so that they cannot reach the ground. They have to be disposed
properly according to the instructions.
4.4 Always tighten any screwed and thread connections that have been loosened
during maintenance and repair. Observe the stipulated torques.
4.5 Aggressive material (acid, lye, solvent, vapour) can damage the machine. It is
necessary to clean the whole machine if it must be exceptionally operated under such
conditions or gets into touch with these materials. Additionally, the machine must be
checked as described under 3.6.
