Maintenance/frost protection

The washer and drop eliminator must be cleaned regularly. The cleaning
frequency depends on the operation, air condition and water quality.
For maintenance, the trough must be emptied and flushed with clear water or
a pressure-jet cleaner.
Caution Spray-clean pipes and nozzle connector only with reduced water pressure, as
they may otherwise break!
Standard lime-scale removing agents may be used.
Foaming cleaning agents are unsuitable.
The washer pump is maintenance-free.
It is, however, recommended to flush the pump and pipework with clean water
whilst cleaning the washer.
During prolonged inactivity of the washer, run the pump for approx. 5 minutes
Caution
once a week, to prevent the bearings from ceasing up (do not operate without
water!).
For cleaning or replacing, the filter inserts of the KG 40-400 Gigant are pulled
out from the side of the unit housing after opening the inspection door.
The synthetic fibre matting - quality class G4 - used for the filter inserts, are
reusable. They can be cleaned by beating, blowing out with compressed air or
by vacuuming or washing with standard washing liquid in lukewarm water. Do
not wring out mats!
Pocket filters are not reusable. They must be replaced once the permitted
pressure loss has been exceeded due to soiling.
For replacing, the pocket filter inserts are pulled out of the side of the unit
housing after opening the inspection door and undoing the quick-tensioning
device.
