2.3 Precautions for maintenance
WARNING: For reasons of safety, always follow these safety precautions
Precautions with battery
When repairing the electrical system or when carrying out elec-
trical welding, remove the negative (-) terminal of the battery to
stop the flow of current.
Handling high-pressure hoses
Do not bend high-pressure hoses or hit them with hard
objects. Do not use any bent or cracked piping, tubes or
hoses. They may burst during use.
Always repair any loose or broken fuel hoses or oil hoses. If
fuel or oil leaks, it may cause a fire.
Precautions with high pressure oil
Do not forget that the work equipment circuits are always
under pressure.
Do not add oil, drain oil, or carry out maintenance or inspec-
tion before completely releasing the internal pressure.
If oil is leaking under high pressure from small holes, it is
dangerous if the jet of high-pressure oil hits your skin or
enters your eyes. Always wear safety glasses and thick
gloves, and use a piece of cardboard or a sheet of wood to
check for oil leakage.
If you are hit by a jet of high-pressure oil, consult a doctor
immediately for medical attention.
