Abstract
An installation for cleaning a motorization system includes an injector, a diagnostic device, and a controller. The injector executes a cleaning sequence for cleaning the motorization system. It does so by injecting a cleaning fluid into one of the inlets. The diagnostic device determines a soiling level as a function of a defect level. The soiling level is indicative of a level of soiling of the motorization system and the defect level is indicative of a level of defectiveness of the first moving part. The controller is configured to supply cleaning parameters to the injection devices for execution of the cleaning sequence. These cleaning parameters depend on the soiling level.
