LB Performance CB95 Broom 5-29
IF machine is equipped with DEF and
is stored for more than one year, replace the DEF uid
before operating to prevent SCR system malfunction
and/or damage.
8. If machine is equipped with a citrus tank, ensure the
tank is full to prevent rust.
9. If machine is equipped with water tank(s), the tank
should be drained. The pump and lter must also be
purged to prevent freezing.
10. If machine is equipped with windshield washer bottle,
ensure the bottle is full of window washer uid with a
cold-weather blend.
11. Perform specic gravity test on engine coolant. Drain
and replace or ll with antifreeze mixture to prevent
freeze damage if needed.
KUBOTA ENGINE NOTICE: If not using anti-freeze,
open the cock at the bottom of radiator and remove the
pressure cap to drain water completely. Leave the cock
open. Place a “No Water” sign on the pressure cap.
12. Disconnect battery, adjust the electrolyte level, and
recharge it. Store battery inside in a cool, dry place.
Ensure breakers are in the OFF position.
13. 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.
14. Cover the exhaust and intake lter. Be sure to seal
the exhaust cover with tape to prevent moisture from
entering, especially if storing outside.
15. If the machine is equipped with a propane system,
remove the propane gas bottle and store in a safe area
away from the machine. Purge the gas system and
seal connection(s).
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.
18. If storing machine for an extended time, run the engine
ve minutes every two to three months (under no load)
to keep engine free from rust caused by moisture in
the air. If you do not run the engine for six months or
longer, apply engine oil to the valve guide and stem
seal before starting.
Periodic Maintenance in StoragePeriodic Maintenance in Storage
If storing the Rosco RB50 more than two months,
perform the routine maintenance procedures for every
100 hours.
Also be sure to:
• 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.
Hydraulic oil that is contaminated
must be drained, the lter elements replaced and
the hydraulic tank relled. Failure to perform this
maintenance procedure if needed could result in
premature failure of the hydraulic pumps or motors.
• 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.
• Continue to perform routine maintenance procedures
as required using the Periodic Maintenance Table on
Page 5-3.
Removing from StorageRemoving 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. Disengage hydraulic brush lift lock valve.
7. Start engine and allow machine to warm to
operating before driving out of storage.
