10. If machine is equipped with water tank(s), the tank
should be drained. The pump and lter must also be
purged to prevent freezing.
11. If machine is equipped with windshield washer
bottle, ensure the bottle is full of window washer uid
with a cold-weather blend.
12. Perform specic gravity test on engine coolant.
Drain and replace or ll with antifreeze mixture to
prevent freeze damage if needed.
13. Disconnect battery and store inside in a cool, dry
place. Ensure breakers are in the OFF position.
14. Remove steering control boxes and electrical
cords. Store inside in a cool, dry place.
• If equipped with any plugged-in remote sensors
(i.e., sonic auger sensor), disconnect, remove
and store inside in a cool dry place.
15. Cover the exhaust and intake lter. Be sure to seal
the exhaust cover with tape to prevent moisture
from entering, especially if storing outside.
16. Lower machine components and attachments (i.e.,
screed, broom, blade, etc.) to the lowest position,
resting on blocks to prevent ground contact or
pavement damage.
17. Clean the machine, including the undercarriage.
Paint chipped or rusty areas to prevent further
rusting. Lock all lockable panels, cab doors and
spare tire. Remove ignition key and store keys in a
safe place.
Periodic Maintenance in Storage
If storing the machine more than two months, perform
the 100-Hour routine maintenance procedures for every
100 hours the machine is stored. (Page 5-5)
Also be sure to:
• Reinstall the battery to start the engine and allow
the engine to warm until all machine functions are at
operating temperature at least twice per month.
• Keep battery fully charged and check the electrolyte
level regularly.
• Check the hydraulic uid on a regular basis for
possible moisture contamination. This is especially
important in climates with varying temperatures and
humidity as condensation can develop inside the
hydraulic tank.
Removing from Storage
1. Perform maintenance procedures described above.
2. Check all uid levels, belt tensions, and bolt torques.
3. Replace battery.
4. Replace alternator belt.
5. Clean any excess grease or rust inhibitor from all
exposed cylinder rods, seals and O-rings.
6. Start engine and allow machine to warm before
driving out of storage.
