MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Cleaning
IMPORTANT!
Turn off the motor. Disconnect the power cable
and place it so that it cannot be connected by
mistake.
The area around the machine must be free of dirt
in order to minimize the risk of slipping.
Use suitable personal protective equipment.
• When cleaning the machine there is a risk of
getting dirt and harmful substances in the
eyes, for example.
• Dirt and harmful substances can be released
from the machine when using high pressure
equipment.
• High-pressure jetting using water or air can
permeate into the skin and cause serious
injury. Never aim a high-pressure jet towards
the skin.
Cleaning method
The cleaning method varies depending on type of
contaminants and how dirty the machine is. A mild
degreasing agent can be used. Avoid skin contact.
NB! High-pressure washing and compressed air
should be used with extreme caution, incorrect use
can damage the machine.
Bear the following in mind when using high-
pressure washing:
• High-pressure washing with the wrong nozzle or
high pressure can damage electrical components,
electric cables and hydraulic hoses.
• The high pressure jet can damage seals and lead to
water and dirt permeating into the machine, result-
ing in serious damage.
• Stickers can be washed away.
• The surface fi nish can be damaged.
Cleaning of components
There are a number of components that require spe-
cial consideration when cleaning.
Hydraulic tank
Place a plastic bag over the tank’s air fi lter and seal
it with a rubber band to avoid water getting into the
tank.
Cooler
Allow the cooler to cool down before cleaning. Use
compressed air to clean the air fi ns. If necessary, use
high-pressure washing and degreasing agent. Incor-
rect use of high-pressure washing or compressed air
can distort the cooler’s fi ns and thereby impair the
cooling capacity.
• Max. pressure 100 Bar.
• Spray directly towards the cooler, in parallel with
the fi ns.
• Keep a distance of about 40 cm between the
cooler and the nozzle.
Electrical components
Clean electric motor, electric cabinet, terminals and
other electrical components with a cloth or with
compressed air. Do not spray water at electrical com-
ponents. Dry the remote control with a damp cloth.
Never use high-pressure washing. Blow clean inter-
nally using compressed air.
After washing
• Lubricate all the machine’s lubrication points.
• Blow electrical terminals dry using compressed air.
• Exercise caution when the machine is started after
washing. If any components have been damaged
due to moisture, the machine’s movements can be
defective.
