E nglish 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.
• Inabili ty 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 m ay 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 lubri cants, use penetrating
oil containing molybdenum disulphide. This spray lubri cates and also dissolves rust.
• It is useful to have compressed air in the vicini ty 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, electri cal 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 lubri cant is possible ; for this reason, plan a lubri cation task after thorough
cleaning.
• The engine manufacturer does not recommend water cleaning.
