STORING THE MACHINE
If the Telescopic Handler will not be operated for a
long period of time, prepare and store it using the fol-
lowing procedures:
Before Storage
Perform the following prior to placing the machine in
storage:
1. Wash the entire machine.
2. Lubricate all grease fittings as described in the
Lubrication chapter of this manual.
3. Change engine oil as outlined in the Service and
Storage chapter of this manual.
4. Apply grease to all exposed hydraulic cylinder
rod areas.
5. Disconnect the battery cable clamps and cover the
battery, or remove the battery from the machine
and store it separately.
6. If the ambient temperature (at any time during the
storage period) is expected to drop below freez-
ing, make sure the engine coolant is either com-
pletely drained from the radiator and engine block
or that the amount of anti-freeze in it is adequate
to keep the coolant from freezing. Refer to the
engine manual for anti-freeze recommendations
and quantities.
WARNING
Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can
have sufficient force to penetrate the skin.
Before applying pressure to the hydraulic sys-
tem, be sure all connections are tight and
lines and hoses are not damaged. Use a piece
of wood or cardboard to search for suspected
leaks. If injured by escaping hydraulic oil, see
a doctor familiar with this type of injury imme-
diately or gangrene may result.
