Cleaning after every operation
In order to keep wear down to a minimum, please observe the following
advice:
•
Remove all deposits from the whole machine
•
Inspect the machine for damage and replace defective parts
immediately
•
Clean the machine thoroughly inside and out as dirt attracts moisture
and leads to corrosion
•
If using high-pressure cleaning equipment do not direct the jet of
water at bearings and always use a wide-jet nozzle moving from side
to side.
•
Do not use any cleaning additives.
•
Spraying pressure maximum 100 bar and water temperature no higher
than 20°C.
Please follow the instructions below at regular intervals:
•
Clean the machine thoroughly (see cleaning after every operation)
•
Clean all drive chains thoroughly and seal with a good quality chain
lubricant to prevent corrosion
•
Smear grease on the discs and threads of all spindles as well as any
adjusting/tensioning screws
•
Check moving parts (hinges, etc) for ease of movement (dismantle if
necessary) clean and check for signs of wear. Replace with new parts
as needed.
•
Lubricate all hinges, pivots, etc.
•
Grease bearings daily
