2.3.1 Short-term preservation and storage
for1–2 months
Wash and clean the entire machine carefully. Before parking the
machine for preservation and storage, run the engine to warm it
up to its operating temperature. Park the machine on asolid and
at surface at asafe place with no risk of natural disaster (oods,
landslides, re, etc.) for the machine.
In addition:
• repair paints where damaged.
• lubricate all lubrication points
• conrm that water llings are drained
• check that the coolant has the required antifreeze proper-
ties
• check that the batteries are charged and/or recharge them
if necessary
• lubricate chromed surfaces of piston rods with preservative
grease
• We recommend you to protect the machine against corro-
sion with apreservative coating (applied by spraying), espe-
cially where corrosion can occur.
2.3.2 Preservation and storage of the
machine for aperiod over 2 months
For machine shut-down, the same principles are applicable as
for the short-term preservation.
In addition it is recommended to:
• remove the batteries, check for condition and store them in
acool and dry room (charge the batteries regularly)
• support the drum frame so that the shock-absorbing system
shows minimal sag
• protect the rubber elements by coating with special pre-
servative agent
• cover the suction and exhaust pipe of the engine with dou-
ble PE foil and tighten it carefully with sealing tape
• spray aspecial liquid on the headlights, external rear-view
mirrors and other elements of the external electrical instal-
lation and wrap in PE foil to protect them
• When storing the machine outdoors, protect the ROPS
frame by wrapping it in PE lm carefully secured with adhe-
sive tape. Prolonged exposure to rain may cause damage to
the ROPS frame.
• preserve the engine according to the manufacturer's manu-
al – mark visibly that the engine is preserved.
After 6 months, we recommend you to inspect the condi-
tion of preservation and renew if required.
Never start the engine during storage!
When the machine is stored under eld conditions,
check that the parking place is not exposed to danger of
ooding due to oods and that there is no other type of
danger in this area (landslip etc.)!
