6.3 - STORAGE
Machine must be parked in a protected/designated area with the boom in a stowed
configuration, however the boom can be raised but must not be extended. Make sure there is
no load in the platform.
It is recommended that the machine is not stored or immobilized unfolded.
Storage preparation :
If trailer has to been stored for an extended period of time or over the winter, it is important that
the trailer be prepared properly.
Ensure all access panels, doors and side compartment covers are shut and secured.
Turn OFF the power supply of the machine using the control box key switch ( 1 ) at ground
control to position..
Remove the activation key switch to prevent unauthorized operation of the machine.
Remove the emergency breakaway battery and store inside, out of the weather. Charge the
battery at lease every 90 days.
Jack up the trailer and place jack stands under the trailer frame so that the weight will be off
the tires.
DO NOT lift or support the trailer on any part of the axle or suspension system. NEVER go
under any trailer unless it is properly supported on jack stands which have been rated for the
load. Improperly supported vehicles can fall unexpectedly and can cause serious injury or
death.
Lubricate mechanical moving parts such as the hitch, and suspension parts, that are exposed
to the weather.
The machine can be stored in a designated area when not in use.
Machine that has been out of service for more than 3 months must undergo a periodic
inspection before the machine is put back into service.
Maintenance must be carried out by a competent company or person familiar with mechanical
procedures.
Maintenance operations performed must be recorded in a register / log book of the machine.
Storing of the machine with an obstacle under the boom structure is forbidden.
To avoid any risk of corrosion on rods of cylinders during a storage period of more than 1 month :
• In a normal atmospheric environment : perform a complete cycle for the cylinders every 2 months while
they are in storage.
• In harsh environments (high levels of salinity in the atmosphere: close to the sea, industrial environment
with chloride emissions and/or humidity > 70%), we recommend applying the following protection
process :
• Wash and rinse the entire machine with plenty of clean water.
• Dry all the cylinder rods using an air gun.
• Apply a solvent-based oil leaving an oily film after evaporation of the solvent directly to all rods left
exposed when the machine is in storage position.
• Re-apply the product every month.
After washing the machine, make sure it is fully air-dry and does not contain moisture on corrosive parts
(cylinders rods for example).
