11.4 Cleaning the machine
n
Cleaning
Spreading material and dirt promote corrosion. Although the machine components are made from
corrosion-free material, we recommend that you clean the machine immediately after each use to
maintain its value.
u
If available, fold up the protective grids in the hopper (depending on the machine).
u
Only clean oiled machines at washing points fitted with an oil separator.
u
When cleaning with high-pressure, never aim the water jet directly at warning signs, electrical
equipment, hydraulic components, and sliding bearings.
u
Preferably clean the machine using a gentle water jet.
u
Especially clean the air ducts, injectors, and bends.
u
After cleaning, treat the dry machine, especially the stainless steel parts, with an
environmentally friendly anti-corrosion agent.
w
A suitable polishing kit can be ordered from authorized dealers for treating rust spots.
