OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 6030, 6030FS Operation

Putting The Machine Into Operation

Before daily start-up, carry out works in accordance with servicing plan T (see: Part 3 "Inspection and servicing")

Increased fire and explosion hazard will exist.

Prior to your daily start-up, make sure the machine has been cleaned of combustible and easily flammable substances.

Reducing the operator's exposure to noise

All noise protection devices of the machine must be in place and fully functional when the machine is in operation.

e.g.

 doors, flaps and vover of the engine compartments must be closed,

 access doors to the compartments of the radiator fans must not be left open,

 the cab door must be closed,

 the exhaust silencer must be checked for holes,

 the screwed conections of all components fastend with bolts must be checked for tightness. Loose components tend to vibrate and to rattle, thus increasing the noise level.

Wear ear protectors when leaving the driver's cab with the engines on and running.

Refuelling

Refuelling - Safety instructions

Explosion hazard. Risk of fire. Fuels and fuel gases are inflammable. Avoid open flames and stop smoking.

Fuel may cause skin injury. Wear protective gloves or use a barrier cream.

Stand working equipment on the ground. Shut off the engines.

Do not spill fuel and do not allow fuel to penetrate into the soil. Fuel pollutes the environment.

Wipe off spilt fuel immediately with cleaning rags or soak up with binding agents.

Fuel and cleaning material must be disposed of without polluting the environment.

Report fuel accidents immediately to the user or his representative.

Check the grounding straps (equipotential bonding) at the tank lift regularly for proper fastening.

Grounding straps can remove voltages and prevent fire during refuelling only when properly fastened.
