Safety when servicing

This section is a compilation of safety regulations which must be followed when checking and servicing the machine. Volvo CE disclaims all responsibility if other tools, lifting devices or working methods are used than those described in this publication.

Service position

Thorough maintenance and care (as well as the repair of possible faults) are the best prerequisites for a permanent availability and low repair requirements.

When replacing spare parts make sure to use genuine Volvo spare parts. Do not use any fastening elements of lower quality.

Before starting maintenance or repair work the machine must be parked on level ground, the working attachments lowered flat to the ground and the hydraulic system depressurized, i.e. the engine is shut down and the levers for the working hydraulics must be shifted several times.

WARNING!

If work has to be carried out on the machine before it has cooled down, care must be observed with regard to hot liquids and hot machine parts - risk of burns.

1 Pull the ignition key off in order to eliminate the risk of unintended starting of the machine. 2 Pull the hand brake. 3 Block the wheels with wheel chocks. 4 Allow the machine to cool down. 5 When performing service work in the articulation area of the machine the articulation lock must also be engaged. 6 For maintenance work under the raised lifting frame the lifting frame must be supported to prevent unintended lowering (lifting frame lock). 7 When lifting the machine use the lifting eyes provided for this purpose. Secure a jacked up machine by piling e.g. wooden beams crosswise underneath or by means of supporting trestles. 8 The stability of the machine must be ensured for assembly, maintenance and repair work. 9 Perform all oil level checks with the machine parked in horizontal position. 10 The required filling quantities as well as the oil quality can be found in the lubrication table. Follow the indication on oil dipsticks or oil level gauges.
