11.3.2 What does cleaning entail?
• Cleaning the machine entails more than just cleaning the outside. Open all protective
covers so that you can also clean the inside of your machine.
• Check the entire machine when cleaning and subject it to an inspection if required. Check
that no parts have been deformed, that welded seams are not cracked and that parts are
not excessively loose.
• Any necessary replacement and/or repair works must be undertaken immediately. Visit
your authorised ELIET dealer to have them carried out (find an authorised ELIET dealer
near you on www.eliet.eu).
• The following points require special attention:
o Check for any damage to visible electrical cabling, electrical connectors and switch
components.
o Inlet and outlet openings for cool air (read § 11.3.3)
o Battery
o Zones around turbine/cutter bearings
o Hydraulic vents and quick connectors
o Rubbish (snow residue, sticky detritus) inside the machine must be removed. Use a soft
brush, dry cloth or vacuum cleaner to remove this dirt.
o Particularly where safety stickers have been placed. (Do not use a cleaning agent that
will remove paint or stickers). Any stickers that are no longer legible must be replaced.
Original stickers can be purchased from your ELIET dealer.
• Use penetrating oil on MoS2 basis to remove dirty grease and lubricants. This spray is a
lubricant and rust solvent at the same time.
• After removing dirty lubricant it is important to reapply new lubricant in order to guaran
-
tee the proper functioning of the machine. (A list of recommended lubricants is included in
Appendix B).
• Compressed air can be used to easily blow out and clean some parts.
