CLEANING YOUR MACHINE
- Switch off the engine, remove the key from the ignition
and wait for the various components to cool down.
- Wear appropriate protective clothing (gloves, mask,
overalls, etc.)
- Do not use inflammable liquids, acids or products that
may chemically corrode machine components.
- Do not clean moving or hot parts; allow the parts to cool
because they could be damaged by abrupt changes in
temperature.
- To clean the exterior of the machine and the engine
compartment, use a power washer bearing in mind the
following:
Ensure the filler caps are closed properly (radiator, oil
tank, fuel tank, etc.)
Protect control units and connectors from water seepage.
Do not use water temperatures or pressures over 80°C
and 100 bar respectively.
Do not hold the power washer nozzle less than 40 cm
from the surface you are washing.
Do not concentrate the jet in just one place, wash using
large strokes.
The interior of the machine is delicate and must never be
cleaned with a power washer.
- If any water accidentally falls on the electrical system,
the machine will not function correctly. Do not use water
or steam to clean the electrical system, sensors or con-
nectors.
- To repair any small defects on the bodywork, ask your
DIECI dealer for tins of touch up paint. Ensure all the
stickers are present; replace any stickers that are lost or
removed while cleaning.
CLEANING THE WINDOWS
- The cab windows, headlamps and rear-view mirrors
must be washed frequently with soapy water.
- After you have cleaned these components, dry carefully.
Do not leave any stains or halos that may limit or distort
the operator's view.
CLEANING THE CAB
- Clean the soft upholstery in the cab with a cloth that has
been immerged in a solution of water and detergent and
then tightly squeezed.
- Clean the driver’s seat and the floor with a vacuum
cleaner and/or a stiff brush. If necessary, use a damp
cloth to remove any stubborn stains.
- ATTENTION -
DO NOT USE JETS OF WATER INSIDE THE CAB.
- Clean the seat-belts with a sponge dipped in hot soapy
water and simply leave them to dry.
- The fabric seats should be cleaned with a stiff brush or vacu-
um cleaner. Plastic seats should be cleaned with a damp cloth.
SAFETY STICKERS
- Consult the summary table in the chapter “MAINTENAN-
CE” for the inspection schedule.
- Replace any Danger, Caution, Hazard or instruction
stickers that are illegible or missing.
- Read all the safety warnings on the machine and comply
with their contents before starting, running, refuelling or
carrying out maintenance work. Clean said warnings if
covered in mud, cement or other deposits. Do not remove
for any reason. If damaged, lost or illegible, replace im-
mediately. Orders must be placed using the same process
as for spare parts (ensure you include the model and se-
rial number of the machine when you place your order).
- The location and code numbers of the safety stickers are illu-
strated in chapter "B – SAFETY STANDARDS" in this manual.
