3 Cleaning
During the
first 3 months
The paintwork on the truck crane will continue to harden for the first three
months.
• During this period the crane may only be cleaned with cold water.
• Do not use high-pressure or steam jet cleaning equipment during this
period.
After the first
3 months
• Avoid water temperatures above 60 °C (140 °F) even after this period.
• Do not use corrosive cleaning agents that might damage the paint.
• Never hold the spray nozzle of your cleaning unit at a right angle to the
surface you are cleaning and ensure that you are standing at a sufficient
distance away from the surface you are cleaning.
• To prevent damage to the seals and gaskets, never point the spray nozzle
directly at seals and gaskets.
• Never point the spray nozzle at electrical equipment, relay and switch
boxes, suction and ventilation filters or control elements and lubricated
surfaces.
• To prevent corrosion, relubricate all slide faces after cleaning.
• Keep all electric and hydraulic connections free of dirt. Check the connect-
ing points for dust, foreign bodies and moisture before installation.
This
also applies to protective caps and bridging plugs.
The parts specified in the next section are particularly at risk.
• After cleaning with high-pressure or a steam jet equipment,
activate
intermediate lubrication on the central lubrication system
(Ã Triggering intermediate lubrication, p. 7 - 109). Lubricate all remaining
lubricating points using a grease gun.
G
Risk of accidents from a misdirected high pressure water jet!
When working with high-pressure and steam-jet cleaners, the water jet is
deflected by crane parts and can spray into your face and eyes at great
speed and high pressure.
Always wear a face guard when cleaning the truck crane with high-pressure
and steam jet cleaning equipment!
