Putting the machine out of operation for longer time
☞If possible, retract the piston rods of the hydraulic rams to protect them against damage.
If this is not possible, apply grease to the piston rods and to the bare parts of the hydraulic
rams that are not paint-coated
☞Before putting the machine into operation, do not clean the piston rods with a
grease solvent or a high-pressure cleaner
➥The scraper is not water-tight
