SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
!
Before maintenance work is performed, it must be ensured that the crane cannot be switched on and
is secured against rolling.
In addition, a “Maintenance Work” warning sign must be visibly posted both in and out
side the cab. Remove the ignition key and battery main switch and secure against any
unauthorised start.
The crane must not be in the way of other vehicles.
Ensure that no one is near hot or moving parts- danger of being burnt, crushed or drawn
into the equipment!
Caution! Observe air pressure tank regulations!
Use caution when dealing with the air pressure system! Work may only be carried out on
when the system is without pressure and the diesel engine is at a standstill! This also
applicable when air pressure connections are being tightened.
Maintenance Instructions
Check the air pressure tanks and their components for external damage, firm seating and
proper sealing. Tighten fittings, if required, when the system is not under pressure.
Loosen the drainage plugs until no more moisture emerges. A high degree of moisture can
damage the air pressure system. In this case, the air pressure fine filter must also be
checked; if required, the filter element must be changed in between normal intervals and /
or the air pressure filter must be drained more frequently.
