Maintenance and
Servicing
Observe the safety instructions for

maintenance and servicing.

Your machine has been designed and con-
structed for maximum power, efficiency and
user-friendliness according to a multitude of
operating conditions.
Your machine has been checked at the factory
and by your appointed dealer prior to delivery in
order to determine that the machine is in perfect
condition. The recommended maintenance and
servicing work should be carried out at regular
intervals in order to maintain failure-free opera-
tion.

Cleaning

The recommended cleaning and maintenance
work should be carried out at regular intervals
in order to maintain operational availability and
guarantee optimum performance.
The hydraulic cylinders and bearings
should not be cleaned with a high-pres-
sure cleaner or direct water jet. The
seals and bearings are not waterproof
under high pressure.

Lubricating machine

The machine should be lubricated regularly and
after every pressure wash.
This ensures operational reliability and reduces
the costs of repair work and down times.
Hygiene
When used according to regulations, lubricants
and mineral oil products present no danger to
health.
You should, however, avoid longer contact to
the skin and not breathe in any fumes.

Maintenance Periods

The maintenance intervals are determined by
various different factors.
Various operating, weather and soil conditions
as well as working speeds affect the mainte-
nance intervals, but also the quality of the lu-
bricants and cleaning agents used determines
the time interval required until the next period
of maintenance work.
The specified maintenance intervals can there-
fore only be regarded as an indication.
The intervals of maintenance work affected
have to be adjusted to suit the conditions shoud
there be any deviations from normal operating
conditions.
Regular maintenance forms the basis for a ser-
viceable machine. Serviced machines lower the
risk of malfunctions and guarantee the efficient
application and operation of machines.

Storage

Should the machine not be used for a longer
period of time:
if possible, store machine under a roofed area.
¾
protect the machine against rust. only spray
¾
with biologically degradable oils i.e. rape oil.
rotect the piston rods of the hydraulic cylinders
¾
against corrosion.
Do not spray plastic and rubber parts with
oil or corrosion protection agent. These
parts could become brittle and break.
