equipments and pedestals are compatible with elements’ weight. Follow all the safety
instructions and ware safety protections as gloves, goggle, helmet, safety boots, ear
protectors.

WARNING: Before any operation stabilize and fix steadily all the elements on suitable
pedestals. Stop the power packs, switch the general power breaker. Place a tag or a
board to warn other members of the personnel that maintenance work on the machine
WARNING is in progress.

WARNING: Pressurized oil jets could cause severe injuries. Before any operation on
hydraulic circuit, STOP the power packs and release remaining pressure in
components by operating hydraulic control levers several times. Always release the
WARNING static pressure in cylinders before disassemble them.
NEVER WORK ON AN OPERATING CIRCUIT.
