Handling batteries

Battery Posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling

Batteries give off explosive gases.

Never handle batteries close to naked flames and unshielded light sources, never smoke.

Battery acid is toxic and corrosive.

Avoid any contact with the skin, mouth, eyes and clothing. Avoid spilling battery acid or inhaling the vapours.

Wear gloves, firm protective clothing and goggles when handling batteries.

If the skin is splashed with acid, rinse thoroughly with running water and consult a doctor.

If the eyes are splashed with acid, rinse thoroughly with running water and consult a doctor immediately.

Never set tools down on the battery. They may induce a short circuit, causing irreparable damage to the battery and injuring persons.

Never wear metal necklaces, bracelets or watchstraps when working on the battery. The metal parts may induce a short-circuit resulting in burns.

Dispose of used batteries separately from other waste in the interests of environmental protection.

Before working on the electrical system

Before performing work on the electrical system where tools, spare parts, etc. can come into contact with electrical conductors or contacts, the battery must be disconnected.

Disconnect first the negative and then the positive terminal.

After the work:

Reconnect first the positive and then the negative terminal.

Operating Instructions

Inspection and servicing

Selecting oils and greases

Use the recommended qualities only, matching viscosities with the temperature level.

Filters

Replace / clean all filter elements or filter cartridges within the specified periods.

All filters are coordinated carefully with the equipment. Original Terex-Germany parts must be used to ensure smooth running and a long service life of the engine and the hydraulic units.

Sealing elements

When dismantling parts, watch for sealing elements.

Check sealing elements prior to installation and replace any that are even slightly damaged.

When assembling, ensure a perfect fit.

Oil-level check and oil change

Position the machine horizontally.

Change the oil when the machine is at operating temperature. Warm oil flows better and carries suspended particles (carbon or abraded matter) better.

Lubricating

Clean the lubricating nipple, then lubricate as scheduled.

After servicing

To prevent corrosion, coat all bright metal parts with a grease film.

On completing work, re-install all protective devices.

Never switch on the electric motor while work is being done on the machine.

Carry out performance tests with the machine.
