1. Remove the drain plug and drain out all used oil.
Wash or blow off all particles collected on the
magnetic drain plug.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT discharge oil onto ground.
Catch and dispose of per local waste disposal
regulations.
2. Remove the access cover and wash the inlet screen
with clean solvent. Remove the sump filter strain-
er from the bottom inside of the reservoir. Wash it
also. If the strainer has any damage, holes, etc., it
should be replaced.
3. Flush out the bottom of the tank with clean
hydraulic oil. Re-install all cleaned components
and put the access cover back on the reservoir with
a new gasket. Clean the filter/breather cap.
4. Fill the tank with fresh oil. Follow specifications
found in the Lubrication chapter of this manual.
IMPORTANT: Hydraulic fluid and filters should be
replaced any time contamination is present before
the normally scheduled change.
STORAGE
If the Telescopic Handler will not be operated for a
long period of time, prepare and store it using the fol-
lowing procedure:
Before Storage
Perform the following prior to placing the machine in
storage:
1 Wash off 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 freezing,
make sure the engine coolant is either completely
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 separate
engine manual provided for anti-freeze recommen-
dations and quantities.
During Storage
1. About once each month, connect the battery and
check all fluid levels to make sure they are at the
proper level before starting the engine.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it warms
up and then move the machine a short distance to
help relubricate the internal parts. Run the engine
until the battery has a chance to recharge and then
shut it off.
IMPORTANT: If it is desired to operate the
hydraulic cylinders at this time, BE SURE to wipe
the protective grease (and any adhering dirt) from
the cylinder rods prior to starting the engine. After
operating, BE SURE to recoat the cylinder rods
with grease if the machine is to be returned to
storage.
After Storage
After removing the machine from storage and
BEFORE operating it, perform the following:
1. Change engine oil and filter to remove condensa-
tion or other residues.
2. Wipe off grease from cylinder rods.
3. Lubricate ALL grease fittings.
4. Follow the starting and warm-up procedures as
outlined in the Operation and Adjustments chapter
of this manual.
WARNING
NEVER use your hands to search for hydraulic
fluid leaks. Escaping hydraulic oil under pres-
sure can have sufficient force to penetrate the
skin. Before applying pressure to the
hydraulic system, 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 at once or gangrene may result.
