6.3 Maintenance instructions
6.3.1 Cleaning and washing
Cleaning and washing the truck is important for reliability.
• Carry out general cleaning and washing each week.
IMPORTANT!
Risk of short-circuiting.
The electrical system can get damaged.
Pull out the battery connector to disconnect the battery before wash-
ing.
High-pressure washers
High-pressure washers may only be used on metal surfaces.
Under no circumstances may high-pressure washers be used in the
truck motor compartment.
When using a high-pressure washer, the jet must be directed in such a
way as not to damage electric cables, electric sensors, hydraulic hoses
or decals.
Lifting chains, piston rods and end pieces of hydraulic cylinders, ball
and roller bearings – including those that are fully enclosed – may not
be exposed to the jet, as there is a risk that water may penetrate and
cause corrosion.
Once washing by high-pressure washer is completed, all the truck
bearings and chains must be lubricated/greased as specified in the
maintenance instructions.
Degreasing agents
When using degreasing agents, only environmentally friendly cold
degreasing agents may be used, such as are designed for general
vehicle cleaning, and which do not damage paintwork, plastic compo
-
nents, cables, hydraulic hoses or decals.
Cleaning the exterior

• Degreasing agents can be used as needed, in line with the previous
section
• Rinse off loose dirt with tepid water.
IMPORTANT!
Jamming, corrosion.
Mechanical parts can be damaged.
After washing the truck it should be lubricated as set out in the main-
tenance instructions.
