Cleaning and care
Safety
The following applies to all cleaning and care work:
Observe the safety information
Disregard for safety information can lead to serious or fatal injury.
See chapter "Safety", page 6.
Secure the machine
•
Before starting cleaning operations, always switch off the
tractor's PTO shaft drive and secure it against accidental
restarting.
•
Secure the machine against rolling away by using chocks.
•
The machine must be standing on firm and level ground and, if
necessary, be supported during the work.
Unsecured or non-supported machines can cause accidents.
No persons in the working area
Ensure that no persons are present in the slewing and working
area of the machine. Persons could be caught by the machine
within this area. This could result in fatal injury.
Do not clean bearings or hydraulic parts with high-pressure
cleaners
Do not clean bearings or hydraulic parts with high-pressure
cleaners. The high-pressure cleaner removes the grease film from
the bare metal surfaces. Metal surfaces treated in this way can
corrode. After each cleaning procedure, lubricate the bearing
points and grease uncoated parts.
Clean the bearings and hydraulic parts with care
Exercise caution when cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner.
Bearings, seals and pipe unions are not waterproof. In order to
prevent damage to the machine, the bearings, seals and pipe
unions must not be exposed to direct contact with the high-
pressure water jet.
Never manoeuvre or position in the transport position
Never manoeuvre implements with three-point pickup in transport
position if the machine is not properly connected to the tractor's
three-point lifting pick up. When manoeuvring, also make sure that
all parking stands are retracted and secured. Otherwise, damage
to the machine or life-threatening injuries may caused as a result.
