1.3. General repair instructions

The person responsible for maintenance and repairs should be clearly identified.
-- Do not do any work that you are not authorized to do.
-- Secure extensively, as far as necessary, the area where the maintenance work will
be performed.
-- Inform the users of the equipment of the start of maintenance or any special work
on the loader.
-- If the equipment or a part of it has been stopped for maintenance or repair, make
sure that it cannot be started accidentally.

switch. The sign must be removed only by a person who is fully aware of the
situation.
-- If required, ensure that suitable and safe ladders or working platforms are available
for use in repair and maintenance work.
-- Do not use any of the equipment as steps. If maintenance work must be done high
up, or in an otherwise dangerous place or position, use the safety devices
necessary to prevent falling.
-- All platforms, steps, grips, rails, ladders, and other similar parts must be kept clean
of oil, dirt, snow, and ice to prevent accidents.
-- Always use the right tools for the maintenance task.
-- Before commencing maintenance or repair work, ensure that the vehicle is on level
ground and won't move.
-- Pay special attention to the exhaust pipe--work and the exhaust gas cleaning
system. Ensure sufficient ventilation.
-- Use a lift jack only on level, hard, and firm ground. Before using a jack, always be sure
the wheels on the other side of the vehicle are blocked. To prevent the possibility of
the jack slipping, secure the vehicle by using adequate supports and blocks
underneath it.
-- Remove all the air from the tire before loosening the wheel nuts/bolts. Should you
forget to do this, a broken rim part under pressure can fly apart and cause serious
injury.
-- Do not try to repair wheel parts by brazing, welding, or reworking. Be sure to replace
them with new parts of the same size, type, and make.
-- Never transport a fully inflated spare tire mounted on demountable rims. Such tires
should have just enough air pressure to hold the rim parts firmly in place. Only after
the tire and rim assembly have been fastened with proper torque applied to all the
wheel nuts/bolts should the tire be inflated to the correct operating pressure.
-- In inflating, mounting, or dismounting tires, a safety rack, cage, or some other
protection should be used
-- During tire inflation, do not stand in front of the assembly. Use an extension hose so
that you can stand to one side.
-- When replacing heavy parts, use correct lifting apparatus and techniques.
-- After preventive maintenance and repairs, always tighten fasteners that have been
unscrewed. Reassemble all dismantled safety appliances immediately after the work
