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.
