Long-Term Storage
If storing the machine for a long period (longer than
2 months), perform the procedures in this section.
Before Storage
1. Wash the entire machine. Treat vinyl surfaces in
the operator’s compartment with a vinyl pro-
tectant.
2. Perform all steps for long-term engine storage
according to the engine operation manual.
3. Lubricate all grease fittings. See “General
Lubrication” on page 147.
4. Check all fluid levels and top-off as necessary.
5. Add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel system according
to the fuel supplier’s recommendations.
6. Remove and fully charge the battery. Store the
battery in a cool, dry location.
7. If the machine will not be operated for a month
or longer, apply grease to all exposed hydraulic
cylinder rod areas or retract all cylinders so rod
exposure is minimized. Apply grease to any
remaining rod areas.
8. Protect against extreme weather conditions such
as moisture, sunlight and temperature. Fill the
engine coolant system with the proper mix of
antifreeze and water as required for expected
temperatures according to “Coolant Compound
Table” on page 39.
IMPORTANT:
Contact your dealer for additional
storage preparation information if the machine will
be stored in an environment where temperatures
could range below -42°C (-44°F), and/or above
49°C (120°F).
After Storage
1. Replace and re-connect the battery.
2. Perform all steps for returning the engine to
service according to long-term engine storage
section in the engine operation manual.
3. Check belt tension.
4. Check all fluid levels and top-off as necessary.
5. Start the engine. Observe all indicators. If all
indicators are functioning properly and reading
normally, move the machine outside.
6. When outside, park the machine and let the
engine idle for at least 5 minutes.
7. Shut off the engine and walk around machine.
Make a visual inspection looking for evidence of
leaks.
