Pareiza tehniskÇ apkope ir ∫oti svar¥ga maš¥nas sÇkotnïjÇs darb¥bas efektivitÇtes un droš¥bas saglabÇšanai. Veicot tehnisko apkopi: – Atvienojiet sveces uzvÇzni. – Uzgaidiet, kad dzinïjs pietiekoši atdzis¥s.– StrÇdÇjot ar asme¿iem izmantojiet aizsarg- cimdus. – Asmens aizsargam jÇbt uzstÇd¥tam, iz¿emot gad¥jumus, kad darb¥bas tiek veik-tas ar asmeni. – Neizlejiet apkÇrtïjÇ vidï e∫∫as, benz¥nu un citas piesÇr¿ojošas vielas. CILINDRS UN TROKŠøA SLÅPîTÅJS Lai samazinÇtu ugunsgrïka risku bieži t¥riet cilin- dra ribas ar saspiesta gaisa pal¥dz¥bu un atbr¥vojiet zonu ap trokš¿a slÇpïtÇja no zÇÆskaidÇm, zariem, lapÇm un citiem atgriezu- miem. IEDARBINÅŠANAS MEZGLS Lai izvair¥tos no dzinïja pÇrkarsïjuma un bojÇjuma, dzesïšanas gaisa iepldes režÆiem visu laiku jÇbt t¥riem un uz tiem nedr¥kst bt zÇÆskaidu un atgriezumu. IedarbinÇšanas aukla ir jÇnomaina, kad parÇdÇs pirmÇs nodiluma paz¥mes. STIPRINÅJUMI Periodiski pÇrbaudiet visu skrvju un uzgriež¿u pievilkšanu, kÇ ar¥ to, ka rokturi ir cieši piestiprinÇti. GAISA FILTRA T±R±ŠANA (21. z¥m.) Gaisa filtra t¥r¥šana ir ∫oti svar¥ga maš¥nas labai un ilgstošai darb¥bai. NestrÇdÇjiet bez filtra vai ar bojÇtu filtru, lai neiz-rais¥tu dzinïja nelabojamus bojÇjumus. T¥r¥šana jÇveic ik pïc 8-10 darba stundÇm. SVAR±GI !UZMAN±BU!
