Cleaning

CAUTION! When cleaning the machine there
!
is a risk of getting dirt and harmful
substances in the eyes, for example.
Dirt and harmful substances can be released
from the machine when using high pressure
equipment.
High-pressure jetting using water or air can
permeate into the skin and cause serious
injury. Never aim a high-pressure jet towards
the skin.
After each use clean the machine when cooled down.
Cleaning method
The cleaning method varies depending on type of
contaminants and how dirty the machine is. A mild
degreasing agent can be used. Avoid skin contact. Use high-
pressure washers to clean the machine.
Cleaning of components
There are a number of components that require special
consideration when cleaning.
NOTICE! Do not use high-pressure washers to clean the
control panel.
Engine
• Keep a distance of at least 40 cm between the nozzle and
engine and its components. Do not spray too aggressively
on the engine to prevent damage to electrical components
like electrical plugs and alternator. Do not spray water
directly in to the exhaust pipe or in engine air filter.
After washing
• Lubricate all the machine's lubrication points.
• Blow electrical terminals dry using compressed air.
• Let the machine dry thoroughly before start.
• Exercise caution when the machine is started after
washing. If any components have been damaged due to
moisture, the machine's movements can be defective.
