Maintenance
Measures for maintaining anticorrosive protection
Safety instructions
• When handling chemical substances of any kind, such as solvents, wax etc., observe
the specific product-related safety regulations (safety data sheet)!
• When using volatile and easily flammable anticorrosive agents and solvents:
• Ensure adequate room ventilation!
• Do not use unprotected lights or naked flames!
• Do not smoke!
• Corrosion on electric connections or components can lead to dangerous operating
malfunctions. Therefore check the electric functions of the machine with special care.
Immediately put the machine out of operation if you detect any defects and have
defects rectified immediately.
• Carry out work on the electrical system only with the battery disconnected and the
engine stopped!
Cleaning
• If the machine is used in corrosive environment over a longer period of time, we
recommend removing the floor mat in the cab to avoid collecting corrosive humidity.
• Thoroughly clean machines that are put out of operation over a longer period of time.
• Clean the machine at least once a week. In particular, remove corrosive deposits (such
as salt crusts) as fast as possible.
• Clean the machine with cold running water preferably.
Contrary to the instructions given in Chapter “General maintenance work” in
the Operator's Manual of the machine, neither clean the machine with a bristle
brush nor with a steam jet or a high-pressure cleaner. Otherwise the anticor-
rosive protection will be heavily affected.
☞ If cleaning the machine with these means cannot be avoided, check the
wax coating very carefully and have it renewed or reapplied as required.
If you replace components, check whether they are classified as in Compo-
nents coated with anticorrosive wax on page 5-39 and whether they are
subject to special treatment before assembly.
