10.4 Cleaning the wheel loader
Accident and injury hazard! Daily cleaning is necessary to keep the wheel loader in a safe and technically perfect
condition. Pay special attentions to hand-holds, running boards and operating controls.
ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
Do not harm the environment! Only clean the wheel loader at a suitable location where the wastewater can be
collected in an environmentally friendly manner. Collect contaminated wastewater and dispose of it in an
environmentally friendly manner.
Do not clean sensitive electrical components (instrument box, generator, compact plugs, multi-function lever,
radiator, etc.) with a high pressure washer.
As long as it is new (in the first three months), only clean the wheel loader with a sponge! Because the paint in the
substrate is not yet fully hardened, the paint may be damaged when cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner. When
cleaning the wheel loader with a high-pressure cleaner:
Water pressure max. 130 bar. /water temperature 80 °C maximum.
When cleaning, do not hold the nozzle of the pressure washer too close to the decals and other delicate parts, so
that nothing is damaged.
When cleaning the wheel loader, pay special attention to its underside! No mud should be allowed to accumulate
on the engine and gearbox! Ensure that the radiator is thoroughly clean all over! Do not damage the radiator fins
when cleaning the radiator with a high pressure cleaner.
Always cover the air filter's intake manifold before washing the engine!
