3.10. AFTER USE AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
When the machine is no longer required, and is to be stored, the following instructions are recommended.
(
Note: Terex Aerials recommends indoor storage of the unit).
(a) Close cabinet doors.
(b) Bring all booms to stowed position.
(c) Ensure all Emergency Stop Push-buttons are fully depressed.
(d) Remove all keys from switches.
Prior to re-using the unit after storage, all daily servicing checks (section 5.3.1) should be fully adhered to.
After prolonged storage, weekly (section 5.3.2) and monthly (section 5.3.3) servicing checks should also be
carried out.
3.11. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS (COLD WEATHER)
BRAKING IN ICY CONDITIONS: WHEN THE GROUND SURFACE IS ICY, CARE MUST BE
TAKEN TO AVOID SUDDEN BRAKING. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ALL DRIVING
OPERATIONS ARE CARRIED OUT SLOWLY AND A SAFE MARGIN OF ERROR IS
ALLOWED FOR MANOEUVRING AROUND OBSTACLES.
In very cold weather conditions, the hydraulic oil must be allowed to warm before full operation of the machine
is attempted. Regular oil maintenance must be carried out to ensure that the hydraulic oil is kept free from
water contamination. Emulsified water can freeze out of the oil as ice crystals, completely blocking the suction
strainer and causing hydraulic pump damage. To prevent damage to the machine, the following steps should be
taken:
(a) Ensure that the rotation drive teeth are not blocked by ice.
(b) Ensure that the steering linkages are free from ice and that the steering operates smoothly.
(c) Ensure that the cage floor is free from ice to allow a firm foot-hold without danger of slipping.
