Cleaning the loader
WARNING
Burn hazard.
High pressure water at the maximum recommended
temperature (80°C (176°F)) will cause severe burns
and is extremely hazardous if contact is made with
the eyes.
►
Wear protective clothing and safety goggles
while cleaning the machine.
Clean the wheel loader frequently, particularly the
access systems, to prevent slips and falls when
entering and leaving the operator station.
To avoid potential fires, remove flammable debris
and dust from the hot surfaces in the engine en-
closure and hydraulic system.

When cleaning the loader, pay particular atten-
tion to its underside. Do not allow mud to collect
on the engine and transmission.

Make sure that the radiator is thoroughly clean
all over.
•
Do not damage the radiator fins when cleaning
the radiator with a high-pressure cleaner.

Always cover up the suction connection of the
air filter before washing the engine.

(instrument panel, alternator, compact plug,
multi-function lever, etc.) with a high-pressure
cleaner.
