Danger!
High voltageis still present on the excavator upto the main breaker 6kVwhen the machine is in standby by pushing button 6kV OFF from the cab. ALL ELECTRIC WIRES AND BOXES mountedon upper/undercarriage must be considered under voltage.
To disconnect totally the excavator, proceed with a lock and tag out procedure at the power station as follows: Locate power station supply and distribution. Stop excavator, disconnect excavator from the network at field switch. Check voltage presence on excavator supply line. Earth and short-cut the supply line. Lockout and tag out at field switch.
Open S1 and use the lever on the inside to earth the uppercarriage. Close S1 and keep key in a safe place.

2.7Signs on the machine
2.7.1Introduction
The excavator comprises several types of signs: the safety plates provide warnings relating to dangers of accidents which could result in serious injury or death.
the information plates indicate specific points relating to the operation, maintenance and characteristics of the machine.
the nameplates are attached to components for which the machine serial number must be provided when ordering spare parts.
