Important safety instructions regarding cleaning work
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.
Machines with anticorrosion protection (“aggressive media”) must be cleaned
separately!
☞–seeMaintenance “Aggressive Media” (option) on page 5-36
In order to avoid damage to the environment, clean the machine only in wash
bays and places provided to this effect!
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 safety glasses 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 high-pressure cleaners
• Electrical components and damping material must be covered and not directly exposed
to the jet
• Cover the vent filter on the hydraulic oil reservoir 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 flammable anticorrosion agents and sprays
