7.10 Taking out of service
7.10.1 Preservation for temporary taking out of
service
In order to prevent damage (corrosion, etc.) from
storage during shutdown periods over three
months, certain preservation measures must be
taken:
• We recommend keeping the machine in a dry,
dust-free room during the storage period.
• Thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the
machine, including the engine.
• Lubricate the machine according to the
lubrication plan.
• Check the oil levels of all assemblies such as
transmission(s), etc. and top up if necessary.
• Check the hydraulic oil level and top up if
necessary.
• Repair any paint damage.
• Fill the diesel tank completely, to prevent
corrosion of the tank walls.
• Check the antifreeze level in the coolant and
adjust if necessary.
• Perform all the preservation measures
contained in the diesel engine Operating
Instructions.
• Check the tire pressure according to prescribed
values and protect the tires (rubber crawler
chains) from direct sunlight.
• Treat bare piston rods with a commercially
available anti-corrosion agent.
• Remove and clean the battery and keep it
according to regulations in a dry - in winter,
frost-proof - room. Coat connections with a little
pole grease.
• Seal off the air intake opening of the air filter
system and the exhaust pipe opening.
7.10.2 During immobilization
• When the machine is out of use for 6 months,
after this time all assemblies must be brought to
operating temperature and maneuvered for
approx. 15 min.
• Beforehand, the anti-corrosion coat must be
removed from the piston rods, and the openings
of the air filter system and the exhaust pipe
freed.
• After the maneuvering cycle, preserve the
machine once more as previously described.
7.10.3 After the machine had been taken out of
service
Before putting the machine into operation once
more, the following measures must be carried out:
• Anti-corrosion coat must be cleaned from the
piston rods.
• Seal off the air intake opening of the air filter
and the exhaust pipe opening.
• Check the condition of the air filter main
cartridge / safety cartridge and replace if
required.
• Clean the machine with a neutral detergent.
• Check and, where required, re-charge and re-
install the battery.
• Carry out all measures for putting the diesel
engine back into operation listed in the Engine
Operating Manual.
• If the machine has been out of use for more
than 6 months, the oil in the assemblies such
as transmission(s), etc. must be changed.
• If hydraulic oil filters such as return filters,
suction filters as well as breathers have been
out of use for more than 6 months, they must
be replaced.
• Lubricate the machine according to the
lubrication plan.
