7 Maintenance and Care
Warning! There is a risk of severe or very severe injuries and the risk of damage to the
machine during all maintenance work. Never climb over the rear wall of the platform.
During all maintenance work, ensure that nobody is able to inadvertently start up the
machine (withdraw the ignition key, lock the driver's cabin, always carry the ignition key
on your body and, as far as is absolutely possible, switch off the main battery switch.
Only perform maintenance work for which you have been trained and for which you have
the required knowledge and tools. During all maintenance work, strictly comply with all
regionally applicable regulations on health and safety and environmental protection.
Never forget this: If you do not comply with the applicable regulations on health and
safety or environmental protection, you endanger yourself, other people and the
environment. In addition, you may lose insurance cover. Always use approved ladders
and climbing aids which are safe to tread on.
In order to open the engine housing cover, first press the unlocking button in the molded
recess. Then place your hand from below into the opening on the engine housing cover and
press the flap lock (1) upward. You can now fully open the engine housing cover.
Perform a daily check of the engine oil level using the oil dipstick. Make sure the
machine is standing on level ground and the engine is cold (not running). Your engine
contains sufficient oil if the oil level is in the middle between the minimum and maximum
m mark. If required, add a corresponding quantity of approved engine oil. Always ensure
that you do not add too much oil.
