2.3.1. Short-term preservation and storage for
a period of 1 – 2 months
Wash and clean the entire Machine carefully. Before parking •
the Machine for its preservation and storage, please warm
up the engine to its operating temperature while running.
Park the Machine on solid, flat surface at a safe place with
no risk of natural disaster (floods, landslides, fire, etc.) to the
Machine.
In addition:
Repair those spots with damaged paint, •
Lubricate all lubricating points, control cables, joints of the •
controls, etc.,
Confirm water fillings are drained,
•
Check that cooling liquid has antifreezing characteristics •
requiered,
Check the state of accumulator charges, recharge them if
•
necessary,
Apply preservative grease over the chormed surfaces of pis-
•
ton rods,
We recommend to protect the Machine against corrosion
•
through spraying the preservation agent (applied spraying),
and this in particular in places with potential of corrosion
origin.
The Machine treated like that will need no special preparation
prior to its subsequent putting into operation.
2.3.2. Machine Preservation & Storage for the
Period Over 2 Months Long
To park the Machine the same principles will apply like at short-
term preservation.
In addition it is recommended to:
Dismantle the accumulators, check their condition, and sto- •
re in a cool, dry room (recharge the accumulators regularly),
Support the runner frame so the damping system shows
•
minimal sag,
Protect rubber elements through painting with spec. preser-
•
vation agent,
Apply preservation grease over the chromed surfaces of the
•
piston rods,
Preserve the Machine via spraying with special agent, and
•
this at places of possible corrosion origin,
Blind the engine suction and discharge ports with double
•
PE foil, and tighten this foil thoroughly with adhesive tape,
Protect the headlamps, external back mirrors and other ele-
•
ments of external wiring through spraying a special agent
and wrapping into PE foil,
Preserve the engine per Manufacturer’s Instruction Manual
•
– mark visibly the engine has been preserved.
After 6 months we recommend to inspect
the condition of preservation and renew
if required.
NEVER start the engine in course of
storage!
In case of Machine storage under field
conditions, please check the parking
place whether not exposed to the hazard
of flooding, and that danger of any other
type is not present!
Prior to restoration of Machine op-
eration, please wash the preservation
agents away with the use of high pres-
sure stream of hot water incl. addition of
normal degreasers while observing the
Instructions for Use along with ecologi-
cal principles.
Carry out the dewaxing (deconservation)
and washing of the Machine at places
equipped with intercepting sumps to
trap the rinsing water as well as dewax-
ing agents.
