Routine maintenance
IMPORTANT - During routine maintenance, cleaning
and extraordinary maintenance, personal protection
devices provided must be worn.
IMPORTANT - Failure to observe the following safety
rules may cause injury, death or damage to
equipment.
IMPORTANT - All maintenance and cleaning must be
performed with the machine off and the key taken out.
In the case of the internal combustion engine model,
the plug cable must be detached and the motor cold
to avoid burns and fire. Do not allow personnel not
involved in maintenance to approach the machine
7.1
Safety rules for routine maintenance
Routine maintenance involves a series of simple operations to be
performed at regular intervals and according to the manufacturer's
instructions. The Manufacturer has reduced the number and
complexity of routine maintenance operations to enable them to be
performed by personnel without technical expertise or complex
equipment. It involves above all:
Check the level of oil in the pump by means of the
indicator on the pump itself.
Clean the connectors and grease the connector gaskets
IMPORTANT - When replacing oil, it must be disposed
of in respect of current legislation. Under no
circumstances may it be disposed of in the
environment.
7.2
Safety regulations for cleaning the machine
All cleaning operations must be performed with the machine
stationary and turned off.
When cleaning the machine or its components, the following
precautions must be observed:
Do not clean electrical equipment with water or other fluids. To
remove dust, use a clean brush or dry cloth only. Do not clean
plastic surfaces with alcohol, detergent or solvents. Dispose of
cleaning materials in respect of current legislation. Do not
dispose of the materials used or cleaning residues in the
environment. To clean, use water or compressed air and soft
cloths. IMPORTANT - During cleaning, personnel protection
devices must be worn
7.3
Safety regulations for repairs and
extraordinary maintenance
For all operations over and above normal routine maintenance,
contact an authorised repair workshop.
All operations must be performed by qualified
personnel with the necessary technical skills to
perform the operations in the maximum safety and in
respect of current legislation.
It should be noted that the warranty offered by the manufacturer is
invalidated if:
The instructions given in the "use and maintenance"
manual are not scrupulously respected,
Routine maintenance is not performed as and when
indicated;
Lubricants other than those specified are used;
Repairs or maintenance are performed by unqualified
personnel;
Non-original spare parts are used;
Unsuitable tools are used.
IMPORTANT - The customer is responsible for
verifying that original parts only are used when
carrying out repairs. The use of non-original spare
parts could jeopardise the safety of the machine.
When ordering spare parts, specify the model and serial number of
the machine and the reference number of the component in the
spare parts book and quantity.

Storing the machine
If the machine is not used for long periods, protect exposed parts

these operations, seal the machine inside an opaque black
multilayer nylon bag together with a suitable drying agent (silica gel).
