Cleaning
Use the proper cleaning agents
Use only PH neutral cleaning agents when cleaning the machine.
PH neutral cleaning agents give your machine a maximum protection.
Cleaning agents with either high or low PH value can be corrosive on
plastic, rubber and painted surfaces.
• The cleaning procedure may be performed by a high pressure
cleaner. However, cleaning around all bearings should be carried
out with soft squirts of water.
• Hydraulic components should only be cleaned with soft squirts of
water to protect the gaskets.
After cleaning
The after-cleaning procedure for the machine is as follows:
> Let the remaining water run off for about 1 hour.
> Remove the collected water behind all guards.
> Check that the machine's protections are closed.
> Connect the tractor's PTO and let it run at a moderate speed.
> Disconnect the tractor's PTO.
• When the machine has stopped rotating, carry out the following:
> lubricate the machine according to the lubrication scheme

> If necessary, preserve all polished parts with suitable protective oil.
