Introduction
T3-062_3
Clean the machine using water and or steam. Do not allow
mud, debris etc. to build upon the machine.
Before carrying out any service procedures that require
components to be removed:
1 Cleaning must be carried out either in the area of
components to be removed or, in the case of major
work, or work on the fuel system, the whole engine
and surrounding machine must be cleaned.
2 When cleaning is complete move the machine away
from the wash area, or alternatively, clean away the
material washed from the machine.
Important: When removing components be aware of any
dirt or debris that may be exposed. Cover any open ports
and clean away the deposits before proceeding.
Detergents
Avoid using full strength 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.

!MCAUTION
The engine or certain components could be damaged
by high pressure washing systems; special
precautions must be taken if the engine is to be
washed using a high pressure system.
Ensure that the engine air intake, alternator, starter
motor and any other electrical components are
shielded and not directly cleaned by the high pressure
cleaning system.

Important: Do not aim the water jet directly at bearings, oil
seals, the engine air intake or electrical and electronic
components such as the engine electronic control unit
(ECU), alternator or fuel injectors.
Use a low pressure water jet and brush to soak off caked
mud or dirt.
Use a pressure washer to remove soft dirt and oil.
Note: The machine must always be greased after
pressure washing or steam cleaning.
Preparing the Machine for Cleaning
1 Make the machine safe with the mast lowered. Refer
to Prepare the Machine for Maintenance.
Important: Stop the engine and allow it to cool for at least
one hour. Do not attempt to clean any part of the engine
while it is running.
2 Make sure that the electrical system is isolated.
3 Make sure that all electrical connectors are correctly
coupled. If connectors are open fit the correct taps or
seal with waterproof tape.
