Perform the following procedures before storing the
machine:
• Fill the fuel tank, apply lubricant, and change the
engine oil before storage.
• Clean and wash all components and park the
machine indoors. If indoor storage is not possible,
park the machine on a firm, level surface. Cover the
machine if possible.
• Extend the bucket, arm, and boom and support the
dozer blade on a block (1).
• Apply a thin film of grease to any exposed surfaces
of the hydraulic cylinder rods.
• Disconnect the negative battery cable or remove the
battery and store it.
• If the ambient temperature is expected to drop
below 32°F (0°C), check the engine coolant mixture
ratios and add concentrated engine coolant to the
cooling system if necessary.
• Close and lock all doors. See “Doors, Filler Cap, and
Hood” on page 5-13.
During Storage
During indoor storage, if anti-rusting operation is
performed, open the windows and doors to
provide proper ventilation and avoid gas
poisoning.
During the storage period, operate the machine on a
monthly basis to prevent rust and seizing of moving parts
and to lubricate the seals. Charge the battery at this time.
Removing from Storage
If no monthly rust-proofing maintenance was
performed, contact a SANY dealer for additional
information before using the machine.
Follow the procedures below before using a machine that
has been stored for a prolonged period of time:
• Clean the grease from the cylinder rods.
• Add oil or apply lubricant to all parts or components.
See “Recommended Lubricants, Fuel, and Engine
Coolant” on page 5-7.
Starting the Engine after Long-Term
Storage
