9.1 CLEANING
9.1.1 Using high pressure washer
The compactor can be cleaned with a high pressure washer. Avoid directing the beam towards any electrical
connections and components.
IMPORTANT: Use hearing protection when cleaning the compactor with a high pressure washer.
9.2 STORAGE
A thorough cleaning and a complete lubrication is recommended prior to long term storage. The control unit
must be kept warm and dry to ensure functionality. The control unit may be detached from the compactor
and stored inside during the storage period. Touch-up paint is recommended to avoid corrosion.
9.2.1 Long time storage
If you’re using grease of NLGI class 2 with EP additives (extreme pressure) there’s no need for special pre-
cautions to be made regarding long time or winter storage. Perform a complete lubrication service on the
machine before storage. If you’re using a grease type according to lubrication standards, but not having the
anti-corrosion effect, the system must be filled up with anti-corrosive oil. Regular motor oil is sufficient.
9.2.2 Oil filling in the grease lubrication storage
This operation is easily done with an empty grease gun filled up with motor oil. Remove the piston and the
coil spring in the gun. Insert an empty grease cartridge and fill the grease gun while holding it vertically.
Attach the gun at the inlet on the main distributor and empty the gun into the system (1/2 litre).
