SECTION V MAINTENANCE
General cleaning of the tractor
Clean the tractor with a steam or water jet (do not exceed 6 bar/87 psi).
Protect all the decals containing safety or service information. Should any
of the decals become illegible, have them replaced immediately.
If you intend to clean the engine at the same time, protect the air filter,
alternator and starter motor.
After replacing any parts you removed prior to cleaning, run the engine for
a few minutes to dry off any wet components.
Cleaning with detergents
Choose commercial products that dissolve oil.
The detergent/water solution can be applied by spray gun or brush.
After applying the solution, wait a few minutes then rinse with clean water.
Cleaning with compressed air
This cleaning method is only suitable for removing dust.
When cleaning the grilles in the engine compartment or the cab filters,
always direct the air jet in the opposite direction to the normal air flow.
