Cleaning
Cleaning method
The cleaning method varies depending on type of
contaminants and how dirty the machine is. A mild
degreasing agent can be used. Avoid skin contact.
Bear the following in mind when using high-pressure
washing:
• High-pressure washing with the wrong nozzle or high
pressure can damage electrical components, electric
cables and hydraulic hoses.
• The high pressure jet can damage seals and lead to
water and dirt permeating into the machine, resulting
in serious damage.
• Stickers can be washed away.
• The surface finish can be damaged.
Cleaning of components
There are a number of components that require special
consideration when cleaning.
Hydraulic tank
Place a plastic bag over the tank’s air filter and seal it with
a rubber band to avoid water getting into the tank.
Cooler
Allow the cooler to cool down before cleaning. Use
compressed air to clean the air fins. If necessary, use
high-pressure washing and degreasing agent. Incorrect
use of high-pressure washing or compressed air can
distort the cooler’s fins and thereby impair the cooling
capacity.
• Max. pressure 100 bar.
• Spray directly towards the cooler, in parallel with the
fins.
• Keep a distance of at least 40 cm between the cooler
and the nozzle.
Electrical components
Clean electric motor, electric cabinet, terminals and other
electrical components with a cloth or with compressed air.
Do not spray water at electrical components. Dry the
remote control with a damp cloth. Never use high-
pressure washing. Blow clean internally using
compressed air.
After washing
• Lubricate all the machine’s lubrication points.
• Blow electrical terminals dry using compressed air.
• Exercise caution when the machine is started after
washing. If any components have been damaged due
to moisture, the machine’s movements can be
defective.
!
CAUTION! Turn off the motor. Disconnect
the power cable and place it so that it
cannot be connected by mistake.
The area around the machine must be
free of dirt in order to minimize the risk
of slipping.
Use appropriate personal protective
equipment.
When cleaning the machine there is a
risk of getting dirt and harmful
substances in the eyes, for example.
Dirt and harmful substances can be
released from the machine when using
high pressure equipment.
High-pressure jetting using water or air
can permeate into the skin and cause
serious injury. Never aim a high-pressure
jet towards the skin.
NOTICE! High-pressure washing and compressed air
should be used with extreme caution, incorrect use can
damage the machine.
