Taking the truck out of operation
If the tractor is taken out of operation for
over two months, it must be parked in a well
ventilated, frost free, clean and dry room and
the following measures must be carried out.
Measures before taking the tractor out of
operation
– Thoroughly clean the tractor.
– Check the filling level of t
he hydraulic oil
for the steering system an
d top up the oil if
necessary.
– Fully charge the battery.
– Follow the battery manufacturer's instruc-
tions for storing the battery.
– Apply a thin film of oil or
greaseonall
unpainted mechanical p
arts.
– Lubricate the tractor.
– Spray all open electrical contacts with a
suitable contact spray.
– Top up the heater fuel
tank (if applicable).
– Cover the tractor with a cotton sheet to
protect it against dust.
NOTE
Do not use a polythene sheet to cover the
tractor as this encourages the formation of
condensation.
Putting the tractor back into operation
– Thoroughly clean the tractor.
– Lubricate the tractor.
– Follow the battery manufacturer's instruc-

If the truck is to be taken out of operation for
over six months, contact your qualified service
centre for further measures.
Decommissioning the truck
We recommend that this work is carried out
by an approved dismantler. However, if you
wish to carry out the work yourself, then the
following should be observed:
– Dismantle as many parts of the tractor as
possible and separate them according to
material for recycling.
– Check the legal requ
irements for disposing
of toxic substances
such as hydraulic oil,
batteries etc. and p
roceed as instructed.
– Follow the battery manufacturer's instruc-
tions with regard to the disposal of old bat-
teries.
– Dispose of the parts in accordance with the
applicable legal regulations.
NOTE
The operating company is responsible for any
breach of the legal regulations before, during
and after the dismantling and disposal of truck
parts.
