2.3 Machine preservation and storage
2.3.1 Short-term preservation and storage
fora period of 1–2 months
• Wash and clean the entire machine carefully. Before park-
ing the machine for preservation and storage, please warm
up the engine to its operating temperature while running.
Park the machine on solid, at surface at a safe place with
no risk of natural disaster (oods, landslides, re, etc.) for the
machine.
• In addition:
- repair damaged coating,
- lubricate all lubrication points,
- conrm that water llings have been drained,
- check that the coolant has the required antifreezing
specication,
- check charging of the accumulators and recharge them
if necessary,
- place the fully charged remote control in a dry room
and fully recharge it regularly at least once every two
months,
- apply preservative grease over the chrome-coated sur-
faces of piston rods,
- we recommend you to protect the machine against cor-
rosion by spraying the preservation agent, especially on
places with a risk of corrosion.
2.3.2 Preservation and storage for a period
longer than 2 months
• For machine shutdown, the same principles are applicable
as for the short-term preservation.
• In addition it is recommended to:
- dismantle the accumulators, check their condition, and
store in a cool, dry room (recharge the accumulators
regularly),
- place the fully charged remote control in a dry room
and fully recharge it regularly at least once every two
months,
- support the drum frame so that the shock-absorbing
system shows minimal sag,
- protect the rubber elements by coating with special pre-
servative agent,
- blind the suction and exhaust pipe of the engine with
double PE foil and tighten it carefully with sealing tape,
- protect the headlamps, external back mirrors and other
elements of external wiring through spraying a special
agent and wrapping into PE foil,
- preserve the engine according to the manufacturer‘s
manual – place a visible mark that the engine is pre-
served.
• Always move the start/stop switch on the remote control to
the stop position.
After 6 months we recommend you to inspect the condi-
tion of preservation and renew if required.
Never start the engine during the storage!
When the machine is stored under eld conditions,
check that the parking place is not exposed to danger of
ooding due to oods and that there is no other type of
danger in this area (landslip etc.)!
If the remote control is not exposed to light for a long
time, it is necessary to charge it up fully at least every
two months. Otherwise the battery can get irreversibly
damaged.
Before restoring operation of the machine, wash o the
preservation agents using high pressure stream of hot
water with common degreasers while observing the op-
eration manual and the ecological principles.
Remove the preservation lm and wash the machine at
places provided with intercepting sumps to trap the rins-
ing water as well as deconserving agents.
