Important information on cleaning and maintenance
The wrong choice of cleaning equipment and agents can impair the
operating safety of the machine on the one hand, and on the other put the
health of the persons in charge of cleaning the machine at risk. Therefore
always observe the following instructions.
Damage to machine due to cleaning work.
► Pay attention to the lower side in particular when cleaning the
machine. Do not allow dirt to collect on the engine or gearbox.
► Ensure that the spaces between the radiator fins are clean and not
blocked.
► Do not damage the radiator fins when cleaning with a high-pressure
cleaner.
► Always cover the intake opening of the air filter before cleaning the
engine.
► Do not point the water jet of the high-pressure cleaner at the seals of
the piston rods of the hydraulic cylinders.
► Do not clean electrical components (instrument panel, fuses,
alternator, compact connectors, control levers, etc.) with a high-
pressure cleaner.
Machines with anticorrosion protection (“aggressive media”) must be
cleaned separately – see “Machine preservation” on page 7-89!

In order to avoid damage to the environment, clean the machine only in
wash bays and places provided to this effect.
