17 Cleaning and preservation

17.1 Cleaning the engine
The accumulation of dust on the cooling fins, particularly
in combination with fuel and oil, reduces the cooling
capacity. The most suitable cleaning method depends on
the kind of soiling:
 Steam jet:
We recommend cleaning the engine by means of a
steam jet. Carry out the cleaning at a temperature of 80
to 90 ºC (176 to 194 ºF) and use a pressure of approx.
60 bar (870.23 psi).
 Compressed air:
Compressed air is to be used to remove minor, dry dirt
only. Start blowing at the exhaust side.
 Water and solvent:
In case water and solvent are used to clean the engine,
use solvents which dissolve compounds of dust, fuel and
lubricants. Apply the solvent by means of a brush. Let it
set before washing it down with water.
Health hazards, risk of property damage and damage to the environment!

CAUTION Never use fuel to clean the engine! The cleaning effect is poor and it is harmful
both to your health and the environment.
□ Clean the protective grid, the engine cooling fan and the
air guiding plates.
□ Never point directly at sensitive parts, e.g. the fan wheel.
□ Prevent the cleaning fluid from reacting with electrical
components.
□ After a thorough and careful cleaning, run up the engine
in order to cause the remaining water to vaporize, thus
preventing corrosion.
17.2 Long term storage
In case the wheel loader is put out of operation for
more than 6 months:
□ Thoroughly lubricate all greasing points.
□ Replace the engine oil by anti-corrosive oil.
□ Add 10% of anti-corrosive oil to the fuel. Fill the tank to
the top. Run the Diesel engine for a few minutes.
□ Remove the battery. Store it in a frost-proof room. Fill
and recharge it at regular intervals.
□ Seal the air filter suction hose and the muffler by means
of duct tape and plastic foil.
□ In areas with a high humidity (tropical regions), fill the
hydraulic tank to the top.
□ Apply a thick film of anti-corrosion grease to all exposed
cylinder piston rods.

NOTICE With biodiesel, standstill periods of more than 4 weeks are to be generally
avoided.

INSTRUCTIONS See the respective chapters in the operating and maintenance manual of the
Diesel engine manufacturer and observe them!
107
Before putting the wheel loader into service again:

□ Check the hydraulic oil level.
