General; Care And Cleaning - Terex R190T-ROW Operation And Maintenance Manual

7.1 General

The operating condition and life expectancy of a machine is largely influenced by
care and maintenance. For this reason, it is in every machine owner's interest to
perform the specified maintenance work and comply with the service intervals.
This chapter describes periodic maintenance, inspection and lubricating tasks.
The maintenance interval charts list all work to be performed on the machine at
regular intervals.
Note: Always use genuine original equipment replacement parts when performing
maintenance or service to maintain the highest possible level of quality.
The supplemental engine operation and maintenance manual provided with every
machine contains information specific to the proper operation, inspection and
maintenance of the engine and its internal components. This manual must be
read, understood and followed in order to properly maintain the engine and com-
ply with warranty requirements.
The operator must have sufficient knowledge to inspect and maintain the
machine. The operator should follow the procedures in this manual and
take any necessary precautions to ensure his/her safety. Wear appropriate per-
sonal protection equipment for all tasks.

7.2 Care and cleaning

Cleaning the machine
• Do not use aggressive detergents to clean the machine. We recommend
using commercially available cleaning agents for passenger cars.
• Linings (insulating materials, etc.) should not be exposed directly to water,
or high-pressure jets.
• When cleaning with water jets, take care not to direct the jet into exhaust
and air filter openings and do not expose sensitive engine parts, such as
alternator, wiring, oil pressure switches, etc. directly to the jet.
• Do not clean the machine with hot water in excess of 140° F or steam as it
can accelerate the formation of corrosion on zinc plated components.
• Pay particular attention to the radiator / oil cooler, engine compartment, and
chassis area when cleaning. Remove any visible debris from these areas
prior to cleaning.
• After wet cleaning lubricate the machine as specified in section 7.4 prior to
operation.
• Inspect the machine after cleaning for the presence and condition of safety
signs. If any are missing or damaged, contact your dealer immediately to
obtain a replacement.
