Cleaning and care
Safety
The following applies to all cleaning and care work:
Observe the safety information
Observe the safety information. Disregard for safety information
can lead to serious or fatal injury. See chapter »Safety«, page 6.
Secure the machine
•
Before starting cleaning operations, always switch off the
tractor's PTO shaft drive and secure it against accidental
restarting.
•
Secure the machine against rolling away by using chocks.
•
The machine must be standing on firm and level ground and, if
necessary, be supported during the work.
Unsecured or non-supported machines can cause accidents.
No persons in the working area
Ensure that no persons are present in the slewing and working
area of the machine. Persons could be caught by the machine
within this area. This could result in fatal injury.
Do not clean bearing parts with high-pressure cleaners
Do not clean bearing parts with a high pressure cleaner. The high-
pressure cleaner removes the grease film from uncoated metal
surfaces. Metal surfaces treated in this way can corrode. After
each cleaning procedure, lubricate the bearing points and grease
uncoated parts.
Clean the bearing parts with care
Exercise caution when cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner.
Bearings, seals and pipe unions are not waterproof. In order to
prevent damage to the machine, the bearings, seals and pipe
unions must not be exposed to direct contact with the high
pressure water jets.
