Cleaning the Bearings of Moving Parts
NOTE: Particularly in the first hours of operation, a slight sweating of the bearings may occur. This is a result of the manufacturing process and does not constitute damage on the bearings.
Only clean the bearings and seals by wiping with a lint-free cloth or wash-down at low pressure. For further information, refer to Maintaining the Upper Arm Bearings, Maintaining the Parallel Plate Bearings and Maintaining the Parallel Rod System.
NOTE: Particularly in the first hours of operation, a slight sweating of the gearboxes may occur. This is a result of the manufacturing process and does not constitute damage on the gearboxes.
Only clean the gearbox flanges and seals by using wiping with lint-free clothes or wash-down at low pressure. For further information, refer to Maintaining the Gearbox.
