Cleaning

The paintwork on the truck crane will continue to harden for the first
three months.
•
During this period the crane may be cleaned only with cold water.
•
Do not use high-pressure or steam jet cleaning equipment during
this period.
•
Avoid water temperatures above 60 °C (140 °F), even after this period.
•
Do not use corrosive cleaning agents that might damage the paint.
•
Never hold the spray nozzle of your cleaning unit at right angles to the
surface you are cleaning, and ensure that it is a sufficient distance from
the surfaces to be cleaned.
Risk of accidents from a misdirected high pressure water jet.
When working with high-pressure and steam-jet cleaners, the water jet will
be deflected by crane parts and could spray into your face and eyes at high
speed and great pressure.
Always wear a face guard when cleaning the truck crane with high-pressure
and steam-jet cleaning equipment.
•
To prevent damage to the gaskets, never point the spray nozzle directly
at them.
•
Never point the spray nozzle at electrical equipment, relay and switch
boxes, suction and ventilation filters or control elements and lubricated
surfaces.
•
To prevent corrosion, relubricate all slide faces after cleaning.
•
Keep all electric and hydraulic connections free of dirt. Check the
connecting points for dust, foreign bodies and moisture before
installation. This also applies to protective caps and bridging plugs.
The parts specified in the next section are particularly at risk.
•
After cleaning with high-pressure or a steam jet equipment, activate
intermediate lubrication on the central lubrication system (
intermediate lubrication , p. 7 - 118). Lubricate all remaining lubricating
points using a grease gun.
