Cleanliness, general
Dirt has a negative impact on performance. Experience shows that
clean machines have less malfunctions.
The machine should be washed regularly for optimal function. Keep
the following in mind when washing:
•
Use mild cleaning agents.
Use a de-greaser if necessary. Scrub if necessary.
•
Use a high-pressure washer, wide water jet.
NOTE
After washing with de-greaser, the hydraulic cylinders should be
run in and out a few times to obtain satisfactory lubrication once
again.
CAUTION
High-pressure washing of sensitive components may
lead to short-circuiting and cause malfunction.
Product damage!
Do not use a high-pressure washer on the battery
compartment, electric components, control units,
connectors, cable joints, cylinder seals, stub axles,
axle seals and chains.
WARNING
The strength of the roof window may be significantly
reduced in case of exposure to substances contain-
ing aromatic hydrocarbons, ketones, esters, or chlo-
rinated hydrocarbons.
Low strength! Danger!
Check the outside surface of the roof window at reg-
ular intervals. Clean only with windscreen washer flu-
id or a mild cleaning agent. Rinse thoroughly with
plenty of lukewarm water. Replace a damaged roof
window immediately if it’s cracked or scratched!
