Cleaning of the machine is not only limited to cleaning the external parts. Remove all safety cov-
ers so that you can also clean the concealed zones. A number of points require special attention.
• Radiator (see 11.2.2)
• Air fi lter (see 12.4)
• Electrical cables and switching components
• Deposits of fi ne wood dust underneath the cocoon around the engine
• Chippings from the grooves of the drive belt
• Battery
• Zones around the bearing of the rotor
• Zone around the bearing of the discharge screw
• Feed belt bearings
• Hydraulic valves
• When cleaning, use a dry cloth, soft brush, etc. To remove grease and lubricant, use penetrating
oil containing molybdenum disulphide. This spray lubricates and also dissolves rust.
• After brushing away lubricant, it is important to apply new lubricant in order to guarantee the
optimum operation of the machine.
• Compressed air is a useful resource that enables easy cleaning of a number of components.
• Pressure-washing of the machine is permitted. However, never point the water jet for long peri-
ods in the direction of bearings, electrical contacts or fi ller caps. Water is known to be the main
cause of corrosion and must, therefore, be avoided at all times. Allow the engine to cool down
prior to hosing it down using a jet of cold water.
• Before storing the machine, completely empty the feed hopper and the discharge collector.
Acidic sap from some types of garden waste can attack the paint and corrode the bare metal
surfaces so that rust forms more quickly.
11.2.2 Routine check
Before and after working with the machine, it is advisable to make an inspection and check
certain points. This enables you to intervene in time and prevent defects from occurring. This will
extend the operating life of your machine.
• Before making an inspection, you must switch OFF the engine and remove the key from the
ignition lock.
• Remove both large safety covers (see 11.3.2).
• Check the oil level in the engine crankcase (see 12.1.1).
• Check the hydraulic circuit for any leaks.
• Check the cooling system for any leaks.
• Clean the grill in front of the radiator and blow through the radiator (caution : the cooling fi ns of
the radiator are sharp : thus always wear gloves).
• Check the level of cooling liquid (1).
• Check the air fi lter, and if necessary, clean it.
