16 Care and Maintenance
16.1 General
Care and maintenance have a lot to do with the reliability and operating life of the
excavator.
Washing: during the first three months the excavator should only be cleaned with cold water
(no high-
pressure or steam cleaning systems); after the first three months keep the spray nozzle at
least 30 cm
from the vehicle, the water temperature should not exceed 60° C and no aggressive
cleaning agents
should be used.
It is in the owner's interest to adhere to the maintenance
schedule.
The manufacturer requires that all prescribed maintenance work be carried out. Neglected
maintenance
will result in limitations on the guarantee.
See the engine operating instructions for engine
maintenance.
The use of lubricants other than those recommended by the manufacture invalidates all
warranty claims.
Before you undertake any maintenance or repair work, find out if there is any damage to
the vehicle.
Lower attachments to the ground before starting maintenance or repair work. Engage
locking and safety
levers.
Release residual pressure from hydraulic system
Allow engine to cool (radiator fluid is hot)
If the machine must be raised to carry out work, make sure it is secured (supported)
appropriately.
Make sure there is an adequate flow of air before undertaking maintenance or repair work in
a closed room.
Dispose of oil, oil filters, etc. in accordance with environmental
laws.
When working on or under the excavator, put a warning sign on the seat or somewhere that
it is clearly
visible and legible.
Remove the key from the ignition.
Never work in a damp area or with wet hands (or gloves) on the electrical
system.
Remove the negative (-) pole from the battery when working on the electrical
system.
If sealing elements (O-rings, flange seals, etc.) are removed, always replace them with
new ones.
After tightening bolts, lock them against
rotation.
Always clean dirt and oil residues from the vehicle after maintenance or repair work. RISK
OF SLIPPING!
