MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
General
Perform maintenance and servicing in accordance with this
Operator’s Manual to avoid shutdowns and to maintain the
machine’s value.
Maintain the machine’s supplementary equipment and tools
as well.
The user must only carry out the maintenance and service
work described in this Operator's Manual. More extensive
work must be carried out by an authorized service workshop.
Use only original spare parts for repairs.
Measures to take in advance of
maintenance, service and trouble
shooting
General
•
Ensure that the machine is situated in a safe area.
•
Always park the machine on a level surface with the
engine OFF and the Engine start switch set in the STOP
position before starting. Press the Machine stop on the
control panel.
•
Several components heat up during use of the machine.
Do not commence any servicing or maintenance tasks
until the machine has cooled.
•
Set out clear signs to inform persons in the vicinity that
maintenance work is in progress.
•
Ensure that the working area is sufficiently illuminated to
create a safe working environment.
•
Ascertain the location of fire-extinguishers, medical
supplies and emergency telephone.
•
Remove the cutting blade before performing
maintenance, service or trouble shooting.
Protective equipment
•
Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions
under the ”Personal protective equipment” heading.
Working environment
•
The area around the machine must be free of dirt in order
to minimize the risk of slipping.
Cleaning
After each use clean the machine when cooled down.
Cleaning method
The cleaning method varies depending on type of
contaminants and how dirty the machine is. A mild
degreasing agent can be used. Avoid skin contact. Use high-
pressure washers to clean the machine.
Cleaning of components
There are a number of components that require special
consideration when cleaning.
Engine
•
Keep a distance of at least 40 cm between the nozzle and
engine and its components. Do not spray too aggressively
on the engine to prevent damage to electrical components
like electrical plugs and alternator. Do not spray water
directly in to the exhaust pipe or in engine air filter.
After washing
•
Lubricate all the machine’s lubrication points.
•
Blow electrical terminals dry using compressed air.
•
Let the machine dry thoroughly before start.
•
Exercise caution when the machine is started after
washing. If any components have been damaged due to
moisture, the machine’s movements can be defective.
Service schedule
The service schedule is based on the machine’s operating
time. More frequent service intervals might be necessary
when working in dusty or hot environments and in conjunction
with work that generates high temperatures. A description of
how the operations are to be performed is to be found in the
service review.
For certain service requirements, refer to the service intervals
in the service schedule below and keep track on the next
service. The machine will keep track on the working hours
and it can be seen in the display.
!
WARNING! Most accidents involving
machines occur during trouble shooting,
service and maintenance as staff have to
locate themselves within the machine’s risk
area. Prevent accidents by being alert and
by planning and preparing the work.
If servicing operations require the motor to
be in operation, be aware of risks when
working with or in the vicinity of moving
parts.
!
CAUTION! When cleaning the machine there
is a risk of getting dirt and harmful
substances in the eyes, for example.
Dirt and harmful substances can be released
from the machine when using high pressure
equipment.
High-pressure jetting using water or air can
permeate into the skin and cause serious
injury. Never aim a high-pressure jet towards
the skin.
NOTICE! Do not use high-pressure washers to clean the
control panel.
