Section I - Storage
If the machine will NOT be operated for a long period of time, prepare and store it using the
procedures as follows.
BEFORE STORAGE
Perform the following prior to placing the machine in storage:
1.
Wash off the entire machine.
2.
Lubricate ALL grease fittings as described in Section C - Fuels and Lubrication, in
this manual.
3.
Change Engine oil as outlined in Section H - Service, in this manual.
4.
Apply grease to all exposed hydraulic Cylinder Rod areas.
5.
Disconnect the Battery Cable Clamps and cover the Battery or remove the Battery
from the machine and store it separately.
6.
If the ambient temperature (at ANY time during the storage period) is expected to drop
below freezing, make sure the Engine coolant is either completely drained from the
Radiator and Engine block or that the amount of anti-freeze in it is adequate to keep
the coolant from freezing. Refer to the separate Engine manual provided for anti-freeze
recommendations and quantities.
7.
Preferably, store the machine inside where it will remain dry. If it MUST be stored
outside, park it on lumber laid on flat, level ground or on a concrete slab and cover the
machine with a tarp.
DURING STORAGE
1.
About once each month, connect the Battery and check ALL fluid levels to make sure
they are at the proper level BEFORE starting the Engine.
NOTE
If the Hydraulic Cylinders are operated at this time, BE SURE to wipe the protective grease (and any
adhering dirt) from the Cylinder Rods BEFORE starting the Engine. After operating, BE SURE to
recoat the Cylinder Rods with grease if the machine is going to be returned to storage.
2.
Start the Engine and allow it to run until it warms up, and then move the machine a
short distance to help re-lubricate the internal parts. Run the Engine until the Battery
has a chance to recharge and then shut it off.
AFTER STORAGE
After removing the machine from storage and BEFORE operating it, perform the following:
1.
Change Engine oil and Filter to remove condensation or other residuals.
2.
Wipe off grease from Cylinder rods.
3.
Lubricate ALL grease fittings.
4.
Review and re-familiarize yourself with all safety precautions as outlined in Section A -
Safety, in this manual.
5.
Follow the starting and warm-up procedures as outlined in Section D - Operation, in this
manual.
