General; Care And Cleaning - Terex DTM 00101 (standard) Operation And Maintenance Manual

7.1 General

The operating condition and life expectancy of a machine is largely influenced by
care and maintenance. For this reason, it is in every machine owner's interest to
perform the specified maintenance work and comply with the service intervals.
This chapter describes periodic maintenance, inspection and lubricating tasks.
The maintenance interval charts list all work to be performed on the machine at
regular intervals.
The supplemental engine operation and maintenance manual provided with every
machine contains information specific to the proper operation, inspection and
maintenance of the engine and its internal components. This manual must be
read, understood and followed in order to properly maintain the engine and com-
ply with warranty requirements.
The operator must have sufficient knowledge to inspect and maintain the
machine. The operator should follow the procedures in this manual and take any
necessary precautions to ensure his/her safety. Wear appropriate personal protec-
tion equipment for all tasks.

7.2 Care and cleaning

Cleaning the machine
• Do not use aggressive detergents to clean the machine. We recommend
using commercially available cleaning agents for passenger cars.
• Linings (insulating materials, etc.) should not be exposed directly to water,
steam or high-pressure jets.
• When cleaning with water or steam jets, take care not to direct the jet into
exhaust and air filter openings.
• When cleaning the engine with water or steam jet, do not expose sensitive
engine parts, such as generator, wiring, oil pressure switches, etc. directly
to the jet.
• Pay particular attention to the radiator / oil cooler, engine compartment, and
chassis area when cleaning. Remove any visible debris from these areas
prior to cleaning.
• After wet cleaning lubricate the machine as specified in section 7.4 prior to
operation.
• Inspect the machine after cleaning for the presence and condition of safety
signs. If any are missing or damaged, contact your dealer immediately to
obtain a replacement.
