SECTION FIVE
THE WASH DOWN
At the end of each shift it is important to wash the machine and components correctly using a fresh water
hose.
Always remove the ignition key before starting to strip the machine down
1. Unlatch the hopper door and tip out any debris which may be in the hopper. Leave the hopper in the up
position. Fit the hopper safety stay.
2. Switch the engine off and remove the ignition key. (DO NOT WASH THE MACHINE WITH THE ENGINE
RUNNING).
3. With the
engine switched off
open the side access doors and
remove the plastic side covers and store in a safe place. Open the
fan casing until the hold-open pin engages the segment hole. Wash
out the casing and down the inside of the suction hose. Wash the
area around the engine bay.
4. Wash inside the hopper. Hinge down the hopper door screen and wash thoroughly. Also wash out the
cyclones, paying particular attention to inside the hopper cyclone ‘can’ area and the cyclone entry swirl
vanes on the top of the cyclone can.
