Checking for Damage
With machines used in an agricultural application, pay
particular attention to the following:
1 Radiator Enclosure
Remove all combustible material from the radiator
enclosure. To gain access, loosen and remove retaining
bolts A and then remove the protection mesh B.
2 Engine Compartment
Do not allow debris to accumulate around the engine,
pay particular attention to the exhaust area, remove all
combustible material.
Inspect steelwork for damage. Note damaged paintwork for
future repair.
Make sure all pivot pins are correctly in place and secured by
their locking devices.
Ensure that the steps and handrails are undamaged and
secure.
Check for broken or cracked window glass. Replace
damaged items.
Check all bucket teeth for damage and security.
Check all lamp lenses for damage.
Inspect the tyres for damage and penetrating by sharp
objects.
Check that all safety decals are in place and undamaged, fit
new decals where necessary (refer to Operator Handbook -
Safety Decals).
Cleaning the Machine
Park the machine on firm level ground, engage the parking
brake and set the transmission to neutral. Lower the
backhoe and loader end to the ground and stop the engine.
! WARNING
Airborne particles of light combustible material such as
straw, grass, wood shavings, etc. must not be allowed to
accumulate within the engine compartment or in the
propshaft guards (when fitted). Please inspect these
areas frequently and clean at the beginning of each work
shift or more often if required. Before raising the engine
cover, ensure that the top is clear of debris.
5-3-1-12/1
Clean the machine using water and/or steam. Pay particular
attention to the underside. Do not allow mud to build up on
the engine and transmission. Make sure the radiator grille is
not clogged up. Remove debris from the kingpost mounting
rails.
It is important to note that excessive power washing can
cause damage to the seals or bearings. Take care during
routine machine washing not to direct high power water jets
directly at oil seals or universal joints.
Note: The machine must always be greased after pressure
washing or steam cleaning.
Avoid using neat detergent - always dilute detergents as per
the manufacturer's recommendations, otherwise damage to
the paint finish may occur.
Always adhere to local regulations regarding the disposal of
debris created from machine cleaning.
