7.19 Chassis/Engine Cleaning
Periodic cleaning of the chassis area beneath the cab and engine compartment is
also necessary to maintain safe operation. Clean as necessary. (fig. 7.19-1)
To clean the chassis/engine:
1. Shut the machine down as described in section 5.13, allow the machine to
cool thoroughly, then lower the access panels on the underside of the
machine.
2. Raise the hood, open the side panels and pivot the cooler assembly at the
rear of the machine.
3. Pressure wash any debris from the engine compartment out through the
lower openings.
4. Tilt the cab as described in section 7.22.
5. Pressure wash any debris from the chassis area out through the lower
openings. Once complete, lower and secure the cab.
6. Re-secure the access panels, then close and secure the hood, side panels
and cooler assembly to complete the cleaning procedure.
Coolant and machine components can be HOT! Allow the machine to
cool thoroughly prior to performing maintenance or service to avoid the
possibility of burns.
If any safety signs are found to be damaged or missing after cleaning,
contact your dealer for a replacement immediately. They can be reap-
plied according to the location illustration in section 2.3 of this manual.
