Care and
maintenance
Observe the care and maintenance intervals
Observe the periods specified in the operating manual for recurring
checks and inspections. If these periods are not observed, damage to
the machine and accidents may be caused as a result.
Use original parts
Many components have special properties that are essential for the
stability and correct operation of the machine. Only spare parts and
accessories supplied by the manufacturer have been tested and ap-
proved. Other products may adversely affect the correct operation of
the machine and safety. Using non-original replacement parts renders
the manufacturer's guarantee null and void and frees the manufactu-
rer from all liability.
When performing care and maintenance work:
•
Switch off the PTO shaft drive.
•
Depressurise the hydraulic system.
•
Whenever possible, uncouple the tractor.
•
Switch off the tractor and remove the ignition key.
•
Ensure the machine is standing on firm, secure and level ground,
and provide additional support, if necessary.
•
Secure the machine against rolling away (use wheel chocks).
Only if these regulations are observed can safe working be ensured
during care and maintenance work.
Turn off the electrical supply
Prior to carrying out work on the electrical system, disconnect the sys-
tem from the power supply. Systems being supplied with electrical po-
wer can cause damage to equipment and injury to persons.
Caution when cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner
Exercise caution when cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner. Bea-
rings, seals and pipe unions are not waterproof. In order to prevent da-
mage to the machine, the bearings, seals and pipe unions must not be
exposed to direct contact with the high pressure water jet.
