Cleaning and care
Safety
The following applies to all cleaning and care work:
Observe safety instructions
Do not fail to observe the safety instructions when performing all work
operations. Any disregard for safety instructions can lead to serious or
fatal injuries to persons.
Securing the implement
•
Before starting the cleaning work, always switch off the PTO shaft
and lock it out against accidental operation.
•
Secure the implement against rolling away by using wheel wedges.
•
The implement must be standing on firm and level ground and, if
necessary, must be supported during work.
Unsecured or non-supported implements can cause accidents.
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 met-
al surfaces. Metal surfaces treated like this can corrode. After each
cleaning process, lubricate the bearing points and grease the bare
parts.
Clean the bearings and hydraulic parts carefully
Be careful when cleaning with a high pressure cleaner. Bearings,
seals and pipe unions are not waterproof. Avoid damaging the imple-
ment; the bearings, seals and pipe unions must not come into direct
contact with the high-pressure water jets.
There should be no persons standing in the slew range
No-one is permitted to remain within the slew range and working area.
Personnel can be caught by the implement. There is otherwise the risk
of serious or fatal injury.
