8.8 Cleaning procedure 

 

 
Always  switch  off  the 

EasyKit

  before  cleaning.  Always  switch  off  the 

EasyKit

 

using the earth switch and remove the charging plug from it. 

 

 
If  the  cleaning  is  to  be  carried  out  by  other  than  the  personnel  operating  the 
machine,  e.g.  the  cleaning  department  or  an  external  cleaning  firm,  it  is 
important  that  they  are  given  the  correct  instructions  on  how  to  clean  the 
machine in safety. 
 
For  cleaning,  you  must  always  take  into  account  the  requirements  that  are 
given on the safety sheet for the battery (see appendix 4). 
 
 

Regularly remove any remains of plants, leaves, etc, and brush off any sand and dust. Clean 
the 

EasyKit

  with  a  dry/damp  cloth  and  soft  brush.  It  is  also  possible  to  clean  the 

EasyKit

 

using  compressed  air,  provided  that  it  is  dry.  Never  pour  water  over  the 

EasyKit

  or  clean  it 

using  a  steam  or  high-pressure  water  cleaner  which  could  lead  to  serious  damage  being 
caused to the electrical circuits in the equipment.  
 
 

Prior  to  applying  a  cleaning  agent,  please  check  whether  it  is  suitable  to  be 
used  on  the  materials  used  in  the  construction  of  the 

EasyKit

.  In  case  of 

doubt, please contact the Berg Hortimotive dealer. 
 

8.9 Repairs 

Repairs may only be carried out under the direction of the Berg Hortimotive dealer during the 
guarantee period. 
Repairs  and  maintenance  activities  should  be  recorded  in  the  maintenance  logbook  -  see 
appendix 1. 
All components that are replaced should at least meet the specifications of the original parts.  
 
 

Deviations  from  the  above  instructions  could  have  serious  consequences  for 
the  safety  of  the  machine.  In  such  cases  Berg  Hortimotive  will  accept  no 
liability.
