WARNING
!
Sudden and unexpected movements of the machine and moving parts can cause injuries.
Before working on the paver, lower the screed (it must completely rest on the ground) and switch off the engine.
Improper maintenance can lead to danger. Thoroughly read Chapter 1
“Safety”, Page 1-2 before performing any maintenance and repair work on the paver.
• The procedures for starting and stopping the paver as well as the instructions for maintenance work described in the operating manual must be strictly observed when performing any work which affects the operation, configuration and adjustments on the paver and its safety devices as well as maintenance, servicing and repair work.
• Ensure the area for maintenance work is adequately marked.
• The paver must be secured against unintentional starting as follows if it must be completely shut down for maintenance and repair work:
— Remove the ignition key and the key for the battery master switch.
— Fasten a tag on the operator's platform with the text: „Maintenance work ! Do not start the machine !
• Only carry out maintenance and repair work after the paver has been parked on firm and level ground and safely secured against unintentional movements.
• Exercise extreme care to avoid accidents if lifting devices are attached to individual parts and larger assembles for removing them from the machine. Only use lifting devices which are in a perfect working condition and have the required lifting capacity. Never work or stand below suspended loads.
• Always use the correct tools and workshop appliances for maintenance and repair work on the machine.
• Always use suitable ladders or working platforms for assembly work on components higher up on the machine. Never use components for climbing onto the machine.
• All grip bars, steps, handrails, platforms, decks and ladders must be kept free from mud, dirt, snow and ice.
cloths.
• Before cleaning the machine with water, steam jets (high pressure cleaners) or other cleaning agents, close or seal with adhesive tape all doors, hatches and openings which for safety or functional reasons must be protected against water, steam or cleaning solvents. Exercise special care with electric motors and electronic equipment.
• Ensure that temperature feelers do not come into contact with hot cleaning solvents when cleaning the machine.
• Remove all covers and adhesive tape after cleaning the machine.
• After cleaning the machine, check all lines for fuel, grease and hydraulic fluid for leakage, loose connections, chafing and damage. Immediately repair or renew all faulty parts.
• Tighten all threaded connections previously loosened for maintenance and repair work.
• After completion of maintenance and repair work, replace and check all safety devices previously removed.
• Ensure that all consumables and spare parts have been correctly disposed of in accordance with your locally prevailing environment regulations.
• Avoid carrying out maintenance, cleaning and inspection work when the engine is running.
• Never refuel the machine if the engine is running, near naked flames and do not smoke.
• Do not alter the engine adjustments. The details on the engine manufacturer's identification plate must correspond to the engine adjustments.
• Always replace lost warning signs and symbols.The position and the part numbers of the warning signs and symbols can be found in the spare parts list.
• By using genuine spare parts, you will maintain the operating safety and optimum machine performance guaranteed in the warranty conditions.
• Switch off the power supply with the battery master switch before working on the electrical system or carrying out any welding work on the machine (Chapter 3
“Switching the Power Supply ON and OFF”, Page 3-7).
• Ensure the battery cover is removed when connecting jump starter cables and battery chargers to the battery (avoid an accumulation of battery gasses). Battery gasses can be ignited to an explosion by sparks.
• The battery charger MUST be switched off when connecting it to the battery.
• Only use genuine fuses with the specified amperage. Immediately switch off the paver if problems occur in the electrical system.
• Any work on the machine's electrical system and equipment may only be performed by a trained assistant electrician or a similarly trained person whereby they are supervised and controlled by a fully trained and qualified electrician. This work must be carried out in accordance with your locally prevailing electro-technical regulations and directives.
• If required by regulations, the power supply to the paver's sub-system on which inspection, maintenance or repair work is to be carried out, must be interrupted.
• Before starting work, ensure the sub-system, is disconnected and at zero potential and earthed or short circuited. Furthermore, all live parts and components must be isolated.
• The paver's electrical equipment must be checked and examined at regular intervals.
Faulty parts such as loose connections or charred wiring must be immediately renewed.
• Welding, torch cutting and grinding work may only be carried out on the paver after express permission has been obtained because this work can cause explosions and fires.
• Before commencing any welding, torch cutting or grinding work, the paver and its surrounding area must be cleaned and free from all dust and inflammable materials and the working area must be adequately ventilated (danger of explosions - check all wiring and hoses for leakage and visual damage). Any damage found must be immediately repaired. Escaped oil is a fire risk and health hazard.
• Hydraulic hoses must be regularly checked and immediately renewed if they are found to be chafed, cracked, brittle, deformed or have visible bulges, leakages, loose connections or any other damage which impairs their function or durability.
• Never carry out any work on the hydraulic lines when the engine is running and the system is under pressure. Hydraulic fluid is still under pressure even though the engine has been switched off.
• Before starting any repair work, all systems and the pressure lines to be removed (hydraulic system, compressed air system) must be depressurised in accordance with the instructions for the particular components.
• Never commence any work on hydraulic hoses and connections until the pressure has been properly relieved from the system.
• Wait until the hydraulic fluid has cooled down before disconnecting any hydraulic hoses. Hot hydraulic fluid will cause serious burns and scolding.
• Do not use your hand to check for leakage in the hydraulic system. Use a piece of cardboard and wear protective gloves and goggles.
• Even a small amount of hydraulic fluid can cause serious injuries and fatal accidents.
Immediately remove hydraulic from your skin. Immediately go to a doctor if hydraulic fluid gets into your eyes, you swallow or breath it.
• Hydraulic lines must be correctly routed and properly connected. Ensure the hydraulic connections are not swapped with each other. The connections, length and quality of the hydraulic lines must comply with all technical requirements.
• Strictly observe the product specific safety regulations when handling oil, grease and other chemical substances.
• Exercise special care when handling hot materials (danger of burning and scolding).
