Cleaning
The paint on the truck crane will continue to harden for the first three
months.
•
During this period the truck crane may only be cleaned with cold water.
•
Do not use high-pressure or steam-jet cleaning equipment during this pe-
riod.
•
Avoid water temperatures over 60 °C, even after the first three months.
•
Do not use corrosive cleaning agents that might corrode the paint.
•
Never hold the spray nozzle of your cleaning unit at a right angle to the
surface you are cleaning and ensure that you are standing at a sufficient
distance away from the surface you are cleaning.
•
Never point the nozzle at electrical equipment, relay and control boxes,
suction and venting filters or control elements and lubricated surfaces.
The components specified in section 3 - 2 are to be cleaned with particular
care.
•
After cleaning with a high-pressure device or a steam jet device, activate
an intermediate lubrication at the centralized lubrication system
(à
Centrallubrication system, S. 7 - 56). Lubricate all remaining lubrication
points with a grease gun.
G
Risk of accidents from misdirected high pressure water jet!
When working with high-pressure and steam jet cleaners, the water jet will
be deflected by crane parts and could spray into your face and eyes at great
speed and high pressure.
Always wear a face guard when cleaning the truck crane with high-pressure
and steam-jet cleaning equipment.
