Preface
General notes
The maintenance activities described in this document essentially pertain only to the
machine. Maintenance activities of auxiliary units (e.g., bar loading magazines,
exhaust systems) are described in the documentation of the specific manufacturer.
The maintenance and servicing activities must absolutely be observed. Failure to
conduct maintenance and servicing in accordance with these instructions
(especially not at the respective intervals) rules out any claims for damages. This
does not apply if it is proved that the non-compliance with the maintenance and
servicing activities is unrelated to the defect. Normal wear and tear, especially of
components such as bearings and seals, is not a defect. These components are
therefore excluded from the warranty. It is recommended to keep a written log of all
maintenance activities carried out.
The maintenance intervals are given based on the operating hours
counter / "Hydraulic system On" operating condition.
Do not clean the machine with compressed air.
Raised dirt particles may cause breathing difficulties or injuries
(especially of the sensory organs).
Furthermore, raised dirt particles or chips may reach spots where
they cause technical problems.
Do not use cotton waste for cleaning.
When cleaning with cotton waste, fibers or thread can get loose
causing safety problems.
Do not use highly volatile solvents such as benzene,
trichloroethylene or similar cleaning agents.
These cleaners may damage the seals, which can lead to safety
problems.
Do not clean the machine with a pressure washer.
Cleaning with a pressure washer results in strong corrosion.
Furthermore, bearings may be degreased and seals may become
leaking, which can lead to safety problems.
A suitable cleaning tool must be used to clean the hole in the
tool mounting.
