7.2 Cleaning the attachment
Clean the attachment regularly to prevent accumulation of dirt which is more difficult to remove. A pressure
washer and mild detergent can be used for cleaning. Do not use strong solvents, and do not spray directly at
the hydraulic components, or at the labels on the attachment.
7.3 Lubrication
There is one lubricating point at the end of the
hydraulic cylinder.
Appropriate lubrication interval depends heavily
on operating conditions, but lubricant must be
added at least after every 10 hours of use.
Adequate lubrication must be ensured, and if the
bearings are dirty, lubricant must be added; added
lubricant will push out dirt.
Clean the end of the nipple before greasing and
add only a small amount of grease at a time. All
lubrication nipples are standard R1/8" nipples.
Replace any damaged nipples.
7.4 Inspection of metal structures
Also the metal structures of the attachment must be inspected regularly. Check visually for damages and
inspect the quick attach brackets and their surrounding area carefully. The attachment must not be used if it is
deformed, cracked, or torn.
Welding repairs are only allowed to be carried out by professional welders. When welding, only methods and
additives suited for steel used in attachment must be used. For more information about repairs contact your
nearest service point.
7.5 End of life disposal
When the attachment is at the end of its useful life recycle and dispose of the attachment properly. Dismantle
the attachment and separate the different materials, such as plastic, steel, rubber, and oils, for example. Drain
and collect all oils and handle them by following the current local regulations. Never leave any oil or other
material in the environment.
Recycle each material by delivering them to a proper collecting place. Let a waste management company do
the recycling, if possible.
