4.11 STORAGE
After the season's use, the machine should be thor-
oughly inspected and prepared for storage. Repair
or replace any worn or damaged components to
prevent any unnecessary down time at the start of
the next season. To ensure a long, trouble-free life,
this procedure should be followed when preparing
the unit for storage:
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small
children.
2. Thoroughly wash the machine using a pres-
sure washer to remove all dirt, mud, debris and
residue.
3. Inspect the wedge, ram and frame for damage
or entangled material. Repair or replace dam-
aged parts. Remove all entangled material.
4. Lubricate all grease ttings. Make sure all
grease cavities have been lled with grease to
remove any water residue from washing.
5. Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to prevent
rusting.
6. Move to storage area.
7. Select an area that is dry, level and free of de-
bris.
8. Place blocks or planks under the frame if re-
quired.
9. Unhook from skid steer (See Section 4.8).
10. Apply a coat of heavy grease to exposed cylin-
der rams to prevent rusting.
11. If the machine cannot be placed inside, cover
with a waterproof tarpaulin and tie securely in
place.
