Safety and Maintenance Notes

Before each shift, the ZDRU-10 should be checked for basic mechanical condition, braking response, steering function, tires, lights, and visible leakage.

Workers entering underground areas should wear helmets, carry self-rescuers, and use proper mine lighting. Maintenance work should not be carried out while the engine is running. Hydraulic pressure must be released before repair, and welding or cutting work should only be done after flammable materials have been cleared.

Operators should also avoid direct contact with the exhaust pipe after operation.
