If the lashing eyes on the undercarriage are used to secure the crane, the superstructure must
be secured to prevent rotation in both directions. Otherwise the turntable may be damaged by
movement that occurs during transport.
Make sure the tracks of the compact crane are resting directly on the deck of the transport
vehicle, because ground protection plates or anything similar in between will reduce the sliding
resistance of the crane relative to the transport vehicle.
8.2. Storage
Perform the following procedure before storing the compact crane for longer than 3 months:
Remove any dirt and clean the machine with water and e.g. car wash shampoo. The crawler
track undercarriage may be cleaned with a high pressure jet.
Grease the compact crane in accordance with the lubrication chart in section 7.4.
Touch up any damage to the paintwork.
Oil parts that may rust easily, such as exposed sections of hydraulic piston rods.
Place the compact crane in a dry location, protected from rain, heat and cold.
Disconnect both battery terminals.
Ensure that the compact crane cannot be activated by unauthorised persons.
Cover the compact crane with a tarpaulin; keep a strip along the floor uncovered to allow
ventilation.
After the compact crane has been in storage for an extended period (longer than 3 months), follow
these instructions:
Remove the tarpaulin.
Check the battery voltage and charge if necessary.
Connect the battery cables; pay attention to the polarity.
Perform the daily inspection before use.
If the compact crane will be placed in storage for more
than six months, contact Hoeflon International B.V. for
the procedure to be followed.
8.3. Disposal
Dispose of waste in accordance with the applicable local regulations. Incorrect disposal of waste
can be harmful to the environment. Environmentally harmful waste includes: engine oil, diesel fuel,
hydraulic oil, differential oil, coolant, filters, batteries and greases.
