environmental regulations. The washing place must
have a separator outlet when using detergents.

washing.

the engine when it is hot.
• Wash the engine carefully using pressure washer.
Keep the nozzle of the pressure washer at least 30
cm from the sealing points and paint work. The
temperature of the washing water must not be
higher than 50°C.
• Use lower pressure, 6.5 MPa / 65 bar.
• Point the water jet diagonally to the engine.
NOTE: Do not use special nozzles, such as turbo
nozzles, when washing. Follow the instructions of
the pressure washer manufacturer.

fuel equipment or the radiator.
These components can be damaged easily. Wash
the delicate engine parts by hand.

points and joints unloaded and with the bearings in
different positions.

pressed out at the lubricating point.
