Clean the engine
CAUTION
Fire hazard
Fuel is highly combustible and harmful to health.
►
Avoid fire, naked flames, smoking, and sparks.
► Do not allow fuel to drip or splash onto electrical systems or hot surfaces.
► Spilled fuel should be wiped up immediately.
► Using fuel as a cleaning agent can lead to fire and skin injuries.
► Never use fuel as a cleaning agent.
► Accumulated oil and lubricating grease can cause fires.
► Repair any leaks immediately.
► Ensure cleanliness when handling operating fluids.
NOTICE
Risk of contamination of drinking water
Cleaning agents can contaminate water resources.
►
Only clean the engine at a washing station intended for that purpose.
► Dispose of empty containers and used cleaning materials in an environmentally responsible
manner.
A clean engine makes it easier to identify leaks, ensures maximum heat dissipation and allows easier
maintenance:
■ Clean the engine regularly with a high-pressure cleaner to remove oil and lubricating grease.
In doing so, avoid water leakage into air intakes and ventilation openings.
■ After cleaning, apply preservation agent. Protect belt drive from preservative agents.
