7.19 Shutdown for a longer period of time
In case the machine has to be shut down for more than four weeks, then the following
work must be performed:
– Thoroughly wash the machine. Avoid directly spraying the bearings and supporting
rollers.
– Clean the strainer wheel drums in the middle of the strainer wheels thoroughly with
the pressure cleaner.
ATTENTION
We would expressly like to point out that in case of damage to the machine caused by
dried soil sticking to the strainer wheel drum, neither warranty coverage nor accommo-
dation repairs will be performed.
– Drain condensing water at the compressed air reservoir.
– Lubricate all lubricating points of the machine.
– Let the central lubricating system run for at least 2 cycles with drive switched on.
– Spray the complete machine with corrosion-inhibiting oil. Make sure that no oil or
grease touches the tyres.
– Grease all piston shafts and the collars of the hydraulic cylinders.
– Park the machine in a dry and weather-protected place, if possible, in a hall.
WARNING
Risk of burns.
Battery acid may cause dangerous burns on the skin and within the respiratory sys-
tem.
– When handling acid batteries, always wear sufficient protective clothing (protective
goggles, acid-resistant gloves, apron).
– Avoid skin contact with battery acid.
– Avoid inhaling acid vapours.
– When handling batteries, make sure that there is sufficient ventilation in the work-
place.
– In case of skin contact with battery acid, immediately flush the skin sections con-
cerned with lots of water. Then immediately consult a doctor.
– Uninstall the batteries. The batteries should be stored cool and dry, but protected
against frost. Before storing, check the acid level and, in case of need, fill up using
distilled water. Completely charge the batteries before storing them. Check the bat-
tery voltage once each month during storage and, in case of need, recharge the
batteries. Grease the battery terminals using a specific terminal grease.
DANGER
Warning against explosion hazard!
If acid batteries are improperly charged using unsuitable charging devices or too high
charging voltage, then this may lead to generation of oxyhydrogen gas. Oxyhydrogen
gas is very easily combustible and may explode.
– Always make sure of the correct charging voltage.
– Make sure that the batteries are only charged in well ventilated locations.
– Smoking, fire or open flame are strictly prohibited.
