Windows are important for the protection of the operator and the safe operation of the machine. Inspect windows regularly. If cracks or surface crazing are observed, replace window.
To clean the windows, use a solution of mild soap or detergent and lukewarm warm water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to loosen dirt. Do not scrub. Rinse well with clean water and dry with a chamois.
Acceptable soaps and detergents include mild dish washing detergent and other household products. Test any intended cleaning product in an unobtrusive spot. Cleaning should never be done in direct sunlight or at high temperatures.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HIGHLY ALKALINE SOLVENTS AS CLEANING AGENTS.
Labels and stickers can be removed using compatible solvents. Wash the window with soap and water and rinse thoroughly to remove any trace of solvents.
Acceptable solvents include aliphatic hydrocarbons, kerosene, Naptha (VM-P grade) and petroleum spirits. Alcohol solvents such as methanol, ethanol
