3.5.4 Residual risks
 KEEP AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS
Entrapment in moving parts can cause damage.
 AVOID BURNS
- Jets of hot fl uids:
After operation, the engine cooling liquid is hot and pressurised. Contact with escaping hot water or steam can cause serious
burns.
Avoid possible injury caused by jets of hot water. Do not remove the cap from the radiator until the engine is cold. To open,
unscrew the cap up to the retainer. Discharge all of the pressure before removing the cap.
- Hot fl uids and surfaces:
The engine oil, reducer oil and hydraulic plant oil heat up during use of the vehicle. The engine, rigid pipes, fl exible hoses and other
components heat up.
Wait for the components to cool before starting maintenance and repairs.
 PAY ATTENTION TO PRESSURISED FLUIDS
Fluids such as pressurised fuel or hydraulic oil can penetrate the skin and eyes, causing serious injury.
Prevent these dangers while repairing or performing maintenance on the vehicle, by discharging the pressures (using the distributor
hydraulic levers) before disconnecting or repairing hydraulic hoses and parts.
Make sure that all fi ttings are fastened correctly before starting the engine again.
Look for seepage using a piece of cardboard; make sure that the hands and body are protected against pressurised fl uids. Protect
the eyes, wear a face mask or accident-prevention glasses.
Seek medical advice immediately if an accident occurs. Any fl uid injected under the skin must be removed by surgery within a few
hours in order to prevent infection.
 ELECTROCUTION
All maintenance interventions and/or adjustments to be performed on live parts must be carried out only by qualifi ed and suitably
trained staff .
 SLIPPING RISK
During the operations performed on site, the areas surrounding the equipment can show various types of debris and liquids (oil,
water, etc.), which can make the ground slippery. Pay great attention.
 FALLS, TRIPPING RISK
Pay great attention when climbing onto or off of the vehicle.
 CRUSHING OF HANDS AND FEET
The presence of moving parts during operation, can cause risks for the operators on the ground. During vehicle manoeuvres,
carefully check that there are no unauthorised persons within the area necessary for movement.
