9.8 Cleaning the machine
It is strongly recommended that you clean the machine as per Chapter 11.5.1 after each use.
Failure to do so will :
• Lead to premature wear of the bearings, gaskets and drive belts.
• Increase the risk of fire.
• Decrease the cooling efficiency of the engine.
• Inability to detect fractures or cracks.
• Have a detrimental effect on the paint coating and the safety stickers.
Warning :
A machine that is no longer in good working condition may compromise
the security of the user.
Caution :
Wear suitable clothing when cleaning.
Gloves are required.
• Use a dry cloth, a soft brush, etc. for cleaning. To remove grease and lubricants, use penetrating
oil containing molybdenum disulphide. This spray lubricates and also dissolves rust.
• It is useful to have compressed air in the vicinity so that you can use it to clean various compo
-
nents.
• Pay special attention to cleaning the engine. in particular, the cooling fins and air inlet must be
thoroughly cleaned in order to guarantee optimal cooling of the engine.
• Pressure-washing of the machine is permitted. However, never point the water jet for long peri

ods in the direction of bearings, electrical contacts or filler caps. Water is known to be the main
cause of corrosion and must, therefore, be avoided at all times.
• A washing out of the lubricant is possible ; for this reason, plan a lubrication task after thorough
cleaning.
