MAINTENANCE PLAN
237
4.7.10.h CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE A/C
CONDENSER (Only for machines with air
conditioner)
DANGER
•
If compressed air, steam or water are directed against a
person, they may cause injuries.
Always wear an eye shield and safety shoes.
The condenser (1) must be cleaned at the same at as the radia-
tors, see “4.7.10.g CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE RADIA-
TORS”.
The condenser (1) must be cleaned with a jet of compressed air
and, if necessary, with a low-pressure water or steam washing
cycle; the specific products available on the market can certainly
be used, provided that the instructions given on the package are
followed and that the washed parts are carefully dried at the end
of the operations.
IMPORTANT
☞
•
Do not use products containing even a slight quantity of
oily substances, since these facilitate the adhesion of
dust, which affects the heat exchange adversely.
•
Carry out this operation whenever the condenser is dirt-
ied, even if accidentally, with oil, diesel oil, greasy or oily
substances. To clean the radiator, rotate the condenser (1)
on the lower pins.
•
If the machine is used in dusty places, clean the condens-
er more frequently, in order to prevent the fins from clog-
ging.
