OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 6015 / RH40E Operation Before starting work Prior to initial commissioning and after repairs on the central lubricating system or the hydraulic cylinders, move the unloaded equipment for abt. 5 minutes. This is required to ensure an adequate supply of grease to the cylinder bearings when the work starts.
Switching on the servo control The servo control is switched on and off with switch (85, Fig. 2-70:) inside the drivers seat. Servo control activated: operator is sitting on his seat. Servo control deactivated: driver's seat is empty.
Warn persons in the immediate vicinity by sounding the horn before starting work. Wait until all persons have left the immediate vicinity.
Warming up At low outside temperatures it is necessary to run the hydraulic system up to operating temperature. The temperatures at which warming up is necessary depend on the type of hydraulic oil used; cf. also "Oils for hydraulic systems". Run the diesel engine at ca. 2/3 full speed and start to perform no-load working movements for abt. 10 minutes with the excavator.
