Measures for maintaining anticorrosive protection
Special hazards during anticorrosion protection!
Can cause serious injury or death.
► When handling chemical substances of any kind, such as solvents,
wax, etc., observe the specific product-related safety regulations
(safety data sheet)!
► Ensure sufficient room ventilation!
► Do not use unprotected lights or open flames!
► Do not smoke!
► Corrosion on electric connections or components can cause
hazardous operating malfunctions.
► Perform work on the electrical system only with the battery
disconnected and the diesel engine stopped!
Maintenance intervals – see “Maintenance plan” on page 7-3.
Cleaning
Contrary to the information in section "Cleaning and maintenance on
page 7-18," do not clean the vehicle with bristle brushes or with steam
cleaners or high pressure washers!
► 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 elements, check whether they are classified as in the
table "Components coated with anticorrosive wax on page 7-89" and
whether they are subject to special treatment before assembly.
► Have the sealing checked and repaired at least once a year by
ELASKON – see the Elaskon servicing pass supplied with the
machine.
• If the machine is used in corrosive environment over a longer period of
time, remove the floor mat in the cabin. This will avoid a collection of
corrosive moisture.
• 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.
