Battery
• When handling the battery, follow the specific safety instructions. Batteries contain sulphuric acid and are caustic.
DANGER!
A hydrogen-air mixture, which creates a risk of explosion, is formed in the battery cells during normal operation, and especially during charging. In the case of a frozen battery or of an insufficient electrolyte level, do not try to start the machine with battery jumper cables. The battery can burst or explode.
Tires
• Repair work on tires and rims must be carried out only by technical staff or an authorized dealer.
• Damaged tires and/or wrong tire pressure reduce the operational safety of the machine. Therefore, carry out regular checks of the tires for:
• Proper tire pressure.
• Damage.
DANGER!
DO NOT inflate tires with flammable gas – this creates a risk of explosion.
• Carry out regular checks of the wheel nuts for tightness. After changing tires, check the wheel nuts after 10service hours.
