Parking the vehicle
When parking the vehicle proceed as follows:
1. Bring the machine to a halt on a flat horizontal surface, away from unstable
ground, digging works or a poorly propped hole/ditch.
2. Set the loader bucket down on the ground.
3. Turn the speed selector switch to neutral.
4. Immobilise the vehicle with the hand brake.
5. Stop the engine and remove the ignition key.
6. Reduce hydraulic pressure by acting on the control lever both ways.
7. Lock the loader gear control levers into place.
8. Check that the doors, the engine hood and the front inspection hatch are
properly bolted and the driver cab doors locked.
9. Make sure that no vehicle parts protrude into a traffic lane. If this is
unavoidable position warning signs in compliance with the standards in force.
Maintenance and checks
Never carry out maintenance work until the instructions contained in this
manual have been read and fully understood.
When carrying out maintenance work wear appropriate clothing.
Before commencing maintenance work place a “DO NOT START” sticker
on the side panel.
Always use protective eyewear when using a tool that could cause dispersion
of metallic particles. When fitting gudgeons use a “soft”-headed hammer
(e.g. in copper).
Sub-standard maintenance and adjustment work could lead to serious injury.
If you are unsure about any of the maintenance or adjustment procedures
get in touch with your
Ahlmann
Distributor.
Removing equipment or manoeuvring the machine without the operator
may cause serious injury. Before carrying out maintenance work on the
machine proceed as follows:
1. Bring the machine to a halt on a flat horizontal surface.
2. Set the loader gear down on the ground.
3. Stop the engine.
4. Pull the handbrake lever.
5. Lock the loader gear controls into place.
6. Chock the wheels to keep the vehicle perfectly still.
Should maintenance/adjustment work require that the loader gear be raised,
the pneumatic jack stabiliser must be used.
Unauthorised machine modifications could cause serious injury. Never carry
out modifications without obtaining prior authorisation from your
Ahlmann
Distributor. All modifications must be compatible with machine technical
features and comply with the safety standards in force.
Penetration of hydraulic fluid or pressurised grease into the skin could
cause serious bodily harm. Take the necessary precautions (suitable clothing
plus gloves and protective eyewear) to avoid such risks. Also, read the
manufacturer’s advice carefully before handling these products. Should
hydraulic fluid penetrate the skin seek medical advice immediately.
Before carrying out any welding work disconnect the battery and connect
the welding gear earth to the part to be welded. Never connect the earth to
a hydraulic circuit component.
Before carrying out any welding make sure that the working area is well
ventilated.
Certain machine components must be certified. Should they need to be
replaced make sure that all spare parts comply with safety regulations.
Use original
Ahlmann
spare parts.
A tire blow-out could cause serious injury.
Periodically check the tires for wear and always keep them at the right
pressure in accordance with tire type and terrain conditions.
