WORKING-AREA-DEPENDENT MAINTENANCE
MUDDY OR WET WORKING AREAS
• Immediately clean the machine after work to protect the
components against corrosion.
• Perform maintenance and lubrication measures more fre-
quently when working in areas with unfavourable working
conditions.
• If the machine is used in water, lubricate bolts daily - see
"Lubrication".
DUSTY WORKING AREAS
Adhere to the following measures when working in dusty work-
ing areas:
• Pay attention to the warning lamp of the air filter to detect a
blocked air filter insert in time. In addition, clean the air filter
insert more frequently than specified in the maintenance
schedule.
• Frequently clean the external surfaces of the radiator to en-
sure unobstructed flow of air.
• Replace the fuel filter cartridge more frequently than speci-
fied in the maintenance schedule.
• Clean all electrical components, especially the starter and
the generator.
