PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN DURING MAINTENANCE

2.8.7 USE OF THE ENGINE DURING MAINTENANCE
2.8.8 PERIODICAL CHANGE OF THE PARTS THAT ARE CRITICAL FOR
SAFETY
•
During maintenance operations, let the engine run only when indispensable. If it is necessary to have the en-
gine running (for example, to wash the cooling circuit or to check the functionality of the alternator), an operator
should constantly remain in the cab, in order to be able to stop the engine whenever necessary.
•
During maintenance operations with running engine, never move the control locking devices from the “lock” po-
sition or change the position of the gearshift lever.
Service personnel must not move any control lever.
IMPORTANT
☞
•
If the machine is equipped with backhoe servo controls, always engage the control locking safety de-
vice by pressing the relevant switch, see “3.3.5.2 MACHINE CONTROLS (Version with servo controls)”,
pos. 26.
•
When carrying out maintenance operations, do not touch the moving parts of the machine and avoid wearing
large and loose clothes.
•
Periodically change the following components, which are important for safety and fire prevention:
Fuel supply system: fuel delivery and return pipes.
Hydraulic system: main delivery pipes of the hydraulic pump.
Hydraulic system: work circuit pipes from the distributor to the hydraulic cylinders.

•
Even if they seem to be in good conditions, these components must be periodically changed with new ones.
In fact, these components tend to deteriorate over time.
•
If one of these parts is defective, change or repair it even if the change interval has not elapsed yet. (See “4.6
PERIODICAL CHANGE OF THE COMPONENTS CONNECTED WITH SAFETY).
