8.1 Safety instructions
8.1.1 General
• Maintenance work may only be performed by suitably qualified and trained
personnel.
• Keep unauthorised persons away from the machine.
• Never carry out maintenance work on a moving machine or with the engine
running.
• Turn the engine off and withdraw the ignition key before carrying out maintenance
work.
• Wherever possible, park the machine on a firm and even surface.
• Pull out the key of the ignition start switch.
• Secure articulation with the transport protection
• The machine is operated with Diesel fuel. • When carrying out work on the fuel
system, never smoke or expose to a naked flame. Do not carry out welding work
on the fuel tank or in the vicinity of unprotected parts of the fuel system.
8.1.2 Refuelling fuel
• Fuels are extremely flammable. Do not smoke during refuelling. Keep naked
flames and sparks away. Never operate the machine with loose or missing fuel
tank cap.
• Only refuel when the engine is switched off.
• Fuel vapours are very poisonous. Only refuel outdoors or in well ventilated rooms.
Do not inhale fuel vapours.
• Always use a funnel for refilling fuel, so that no fuel can overflow. Filter the fuel,
so that no dirt or dust gets into the tank.
• Only use Diesel fuels. The engine can be damaged, if other fuels are used.
• Only use fuels with a cetane number of less than 45, since starting problems
could occur otherwise.
• Do not use dirty Diesel fuel or Diesel fuel mixed with water, since this could
damage the engine.
• Dispose contaminated fuels correctly.
