•Perform maintenance work only after the truck crane has been shut down.
Always ensure that the truck crane is well-protected from unauthorised
operation before beginning maintenance work. Remove the ignition key
and put up warning signs.
If due to exceptional circumstances the truck crane needs be put into oper-
ation for certain types of maintenance work, great care must be taken where
there are moving parts (superstructure, outriggers, Cardan shafts, slewing
bearing, engines, tiltable crane cab). There is risk of injury!
•Ensure that all hydraulic components are returned to their initial positions
(e.g. the main boom) or locked (e.g. the outriggers).
Escaping hydraulic fluid or compressed air can cause severe injuries. Re-
member that the hydraulic and compressed air systems of the truck crane
are pressurised even when the truck crane is not in operation. Only tighten
loose screw connections when the systems are depressurised. Always de-
pressurise the hydraulic and compressed air systems before opening them.
•Do not allow hot fluids to escape in an uncontrolled manner. Risk of
scalding!
•Observe the applicable safety regulations when working with inflamma-
ble fluids.
•Observe the applicable safety regulations when working with process
materials.
•Switch off all electrical consumers and first disconnect the earthing
terminal before removing any electrical batteries.
•Keep in mind the corrosive effect of battery acid.
•Note the fire alarm and fire-fighting facilities on site.
•Return the truck crane to proper working order once maintenance work is
completed. Inform the crane operator accordingly.

2.2 Handling substances which are harmful to the
environment
Which substances
are harmful to the
environment?
When you carry out maintenance work on the truck crane you will occasion-
ally work with consumables which are classified as harmful to the environ-
ment by applicable national and regional regulations.
These include oil, fuel, grease, used oil and fuel filters, as well as rags which
have come into contact with these environmentally harmful substances.
•When handling these substances observe the applicable national and re-
gional regulations as well as the instructions in this chapter.
Using suitable
equipment
Substances harmful to the environment can sometimes be corrosive. When
doing maintenance work involving these consumables (oils, coolant, fuel)
always use receptacles, hoses, pumps, funnels etc. which have sufficient
capacity and which are resistant to the consumables.
For oil samples, always use receptacles that can be closed and have
sufficient capacity and resistance to the consumables.
The approximate amount of consumables to be expected is specified in the
maintenance plans.
Filling and
draining
•When filling and draining, make absolutely sure that no substances harm-
ful to the environment seep into the earth, escape into the sewage system
or pollute natural waterways.
•Collect consumables (e.g. oils, fuels, coolant) in a suitable receptacle
when draining.
•Always use a drain hose when draining, and a funnel or a pump with a
hose suitable for the respective substance when filling.

Separate collec-
tion and storage
Substances which are harmful to the environment should always be collect-
ed separately from other waste.
•Ask your local environmental protection authority about the prescribed
disposal options.
•Also, when collecting substances which are harmful to the environment,
keep solid materials (e.g. filter cartridges) separate from fluids. Disposal
costs will be reduced if you collect fluids separately according to defined
categories.
•Store environmentally harmful substances only in approved containers
and in locations which meet the requirements of current national and
regional regulations.
Disposal •Ask your local environmental protection authority about the prescribed
disposal options.
•Once collected, have environmentally harmful substances disposed of
only by disposal companies that are approved by the national or regional
authority responsible.
