MACHINE STORAGE
Storage Preparation
If the machine is to be in storage for
more than 30 days, park the machine
inside a building. If a building is not
available, park the machine in a dry
area on planks and cover the machine
with a waterproof covering.
1. Wash the machine.
2. Lubricate the machine at all grease
fittings.
3. Paint any areas where the paint
has been damaged.
4. Move all hydraulic controls to
relieve any pressure in the
hydraulic circuits.
5. Drain the fuel tank.
6. Put approximately 8 litres (2 U.S.
Gallons) of diesel flushing oil in the
fuel tank. Run the engine until the
exhaust smoke is blue-white.
7. Drain the flushing oil from the fuel
tank.
8. Put 15 ml (one tablespoon) of Shell
Oil Company VPI crystals in the
fuel tank.
9. Change the engine oil and replace
the oil filter.
10. Drain the cooling system. Leave
the drain open and do not tighten
the radiator cap. Put a Do Not
Operate tag in the cab.
11. Clean or replace the primary
element for the air filter.
12. Cover the exposed steering
cylinder rods, equipment valve
spools with Case Rust and
Corrosion Preventative (Part
Number B17510).
13. Charge the batteries. Remove the
batteries from the machine and put
the batteries on a wooden pallet in
a cool dry area. If possible, keep
the batteries in a building where
the temperature is above freezing
(0°C [32°F]). Make sure the
batteries are clean.
NOTE: Always wear face protection
when checking batteries. Check the
batteries periodically for the correct
electrolyte level. Test the electrolyte
with a hydrometer. When the
hydrometer reading is near 1.215,
charge the batteries.
