Safety instructions regarding general cleaning work
Cleaning the machine is divided into 3 separate areas:
• Inside the cab
• Exterior of the machine
• Engine compartment
The wrong choice of cleaning equipment and agents can impair the operating safety of the
machine on the one hand, and on the other undermine the health of the persons in charge
of cleaning the machine. Therefore always observe the following instructions.
Cleaning with washing solvents
• Ensure adequate room ventilation
• Wear suitable protective clothing
• Do not use flammable liquids, such as petrol or diesel
Cleaning with compressed air
•Work carefully
• Wear goggles and protective clothing
• Do not aim the compressed air at the skin or at other people
• Do not use compressed air for cleaning your clothing
Cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner or steam jet
• Electric components and damping material must be covered and not directly exposed
to the jet
• Cover the vent filter on the hydraulic oil tank and the filler caps for fuel, hydraulic oil etc.
• Cover the piston rods of the hydraulic rams (the scraper is not water-tight, and water in
the guide bushing causes corrosion and damage to the piston rod)
• Cover electric parts, such as the alternator, the ignition lock, the turn indicator and light
switches, the relays etc.
• Cover the controls and seals
• Cover the air-intake filter etc.
Cleaning with volatile and flammable anticorrosion agents and sprays
• Ensure adequate room ventilation
• Do not use unprotected lights or naked flames
