GENERAL SAFETY MEASURES 9.10 PROTECTION AGAINST INJURIES Do not insert any part of your body in the operating range of moving parts, such as work unit and cylinder, or machine and work unit. Never stand in a hazardous area. Distances vary when the work unit or steering are operated, this may lead to se- rious injuries. 9.11 WORKING AT HIGH TEMPERATURES Directly after operating the machine, the engine coolant, the engine oil, and the hydraulic oil are extremely hot and under pressure. Do not try to unscrew caps, drain water or oil, or re- place filters directly after operating the machine, since this may lead to severe burns due to hot fluids or hot machine parts.
Wait until the temperature has fallen. Strictly adhere to the described procedures when performing the required mea- sures. Lower the work equipment. Switch off the engine and wait for the radiator to cool down be- fore you unscrew the radiator cap. Slowly turn the radiator cap until it reaches the first catch to let the pressure escape. Then, proceed turning the cap further and remove it. If you do not let the pressure escape, boiling water may spurt out when you re- move the radiator cap. Switch off the engine. Allow the hydraulic oil to cool down be- fore you unscrew the cap of the hydraulic tank to drain the hy- draulic oil.
Slowly turn the cap of the hydraulic tank to let the pressure escape from the tank. If you do not let the pressure escape, oil may spurt out when you remove the cap of the hy- draulic tank. 23
