16. Long-term Storage
2-90
Move the machine at least once a month to form new oil
films on all the moving parts during long-term storage, and
recharge the battery at the same time.
IMPORTANT
When reusing a machine stored for a long time without
antirust treatment once a month, consult your dealer.
To use the machine again after a long period of storage,
follow the procedure below:
• Wipe antirust off the hydraulic cylinder rod.
• Apply a generous amount of grease or oil on the moving
part.
• Drain water from the fuel tank, the engine oil pan and the
hydraulic oil tank by removing the drain plugs.
• After starting the engine, warm-up the machine.
16-2. Storing
When you have to operate the machine indoors for
the antirust procedure, be sure to ventilate the
area well by opening windows and doors to pre-
vent asphyxiation.
