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. 

 

  

 

WARNING

 

Entanglement hazard -  Risk of entanglement also persists during maintenance. 

Always follow the safe stopping procedure before any cleaning, maintenance, or service 
operation.  

 

 

7.3

 

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. 

 

 

7.4

 

Lubrication 

There are no specific lubrication points on the attachment. The attachment is maintenance free, except for 

cleaning, monitoring its condition, and occasional paint retouch if needed. 

 

7.4.1

 

Leaf blower chute rotation 

The gear rim of the blower chute can be oiled slightly without opening the structure. The blower chute actuator 

is a maintenance-free electric motor, and normally does not require maintenance. The electric components of 

the chute rotation and the chute tip adjustment do not contain user serviceable parts. 

 

 

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.
