Cleaning the truck
Cleaning requirements depend on the use of
the truck. For operations with highly abrasive
materials, e.g. salt water, fertiliser, chemicals,
cement etc., thorough cleaning should be
carried out after the task is complete.
Hot steam or cleaning materials with a pow-
erful degreasing effect should only be used
with great caution as they will affect the grease
filling of bearings with lifetime lubrication,
causing it to escape. As relubrication is not
possible, the bearings will be irreparably dam-
aged.
Switch off the engine and w
ait for it to cool
down before cleaning the t
ruck.
Deposits/accumulations of combustible
materials, especially on or in the vicinity of
parts with high temperatures (e.g. exhaust
pipes) must be removed regularly.
CAUTION
When cleaning with a water jet (high-pressure
or steam cleaner etc.), it should not be applied
directly to the electric and electronic components,
plug connectors, air duct plastic pipes, any of the
hydraulic and coolant hoses or the area with hose
clips. Water should not be used for cleaning in the
area of the central electrical system and switch
console.
If this cannot be avoided, the affected parts must
be covered in advance or only cleaned using a dry
cloth or clean compressed air
When using high-pressure cleaners, the
minimum distance between the steel pipe
and the truck should be approx. 300 mm.
When using compressed air for cleaning,
remove stubborn contamination with a cleaner
solvent.
Pay particular attention to cleaning the oil
filling openings, their surroundings and the
lubricating nipples before lubricating.

WARNING
Always observe the following when opening the
bonnet with the engine running: The hydraulic drive
and a temperature-dependent circuit may cause
the fan to suddenly switch on automatically.
Allow engine to cool down.
