Cleaning
Before cleaning work on the machine, it is vital to switch off the drive and secure it so it
cannot be switched on accidentally or started-up by unauthorised persons.
Disconnect the machine from the mains.
▪ In addition, pull out the plug of the device.
▪ Disengage the universal joint shaft on the tractor.
– Before disengaging, turn the manual throttle to minimum.
▪ Remove the universal joint shaft from the tractor.
Clean the machine regularly to ensure proper operation.
Only wash new machines (during the first 3 months) with a sponge.
▪ The paint is not yet completely set, so cleaning with a high pressure cleaner may
damage the finish.
