Always use the proper tools and workshop equipment in
good condition when performing maintenance or repairs on
the machine.
Always use specially designed safety ladders and working
platforms when working above floor level. Never use
machine parts as a climbing aid.
Keep all steps, handles, handrails, platforms and ladders free from mud, dirt, grease, ice or
snow.
Clean the machine, especially threaded connections of any traces of oil or fuel before carrying
out any maintenance or repairs. Never use aggressive detergents. Use lint free cleaning rags.
Examine all fuel, lubricant and hydraulic uid lines and connectors for leaks, loose connections
chafe marks or damage after cleaning.
Repair or replace defective parts immediately.
Whenever possible, avoid servicing or maintenance when the engine is running unless the drum
and or tires are adequately blocked, the articulation lock bar is in the locked position and the
parking brake is applied.
Never fill the fuel tank with the engine running, while near an open flame or while smoking.
Always clean up any spilled fuel.
Ensure safe operation, optimum performance of the machine and its warranty by using only
genuine SAKAI replacement parts.
Use only the specified fluids and lubricants. Substitute only products known to be equivalent
from reputable manufacturers.
Disconnect the battery cables when working on the electrical system or
when welding on the compactor.
Be sure the battery area is well ventilated (clear of fumes) should it be
necessary to connect a jumper cable or battery charger. Fumes can
ignite from a spark and may explode.
Be sure battery charger is OFF when making connections if charging is required.
Use only original fuses with the specied rating. Switch off the machine immediately if trouble
occurs in the electrical system.
Work on the electrical system may only be carried out by a qualied electrician or by a specially
trained person according to electrical engineering principles.
Inspect the electrical equipment of the machine at regular intervals. Defects such as loose
connections or burnt or scorched wires must be repaired or replaced immediately.
Do not weld, ame cut or perform grinding on the machine unless expressly authorized, as there
may be a risk of re or explosion. Disconnect the battery when welding on the machine.
Clean the machine and its surrounding from dust or other ammable substances and make sure
the area is adequately ventilated before beginning welding, ame cutting or grinding operations.
Inspect hydraulic hoses at regular intervals and immediately replace if they show signs of
chafing, cracking, brittleness, deformation, blistering, fitting separation, leakage, corrosion or
other damage which may affect their function or strength.
Do not work on hydraulic system while the engine is running and the system is under pressure.
The hydraulic system remains pressurized even after the engine has stopped.
Do not disconnect hydraulic hoses or ttings until the pressure has been properly relieved.
Wait until the systems and uid have cooled down before disconnecting.
