Clean/Wash/Lubricate the Machine
Anytime a machine or component is washed down with a hose or high pressure wash system,
there is the possibility that water or other contaminants can be forced into bearings, seals,
electrical panels, or other components. Protect or avoid directly spraying these components in
the engine compartment or elsewhere on the unit.
Ensure that after cleaning the machine is completely lubricated immediately, especially in the
areas that water or contaminants may have entered. These areas include the articulation and
swivel joint pins and bushings, console bearings, and linkages. Refer to Section 8, FUEL AND
LUBRICANT SPECIFICATIONS for complete lubrication specification information.
The complete machine must be given a weekly cleaning. Daily cleaning will be required if
material is adhering to the drum.
NOTICE
Protect all electrical components and control panels against entry of
water or steam when using high pressure cleaning methods.
Do not use harsh cleansers which may damage painted surfaces.
After washing, run the engine until it is warm. This will help to dry out
engine components and electrical connections.
Lubricate all grease fittings immediately following the cleaning of the
machine.
