PARKING AND STORAGE
Short inactivity
Always park the machine in a safe way after a working day, a
shift and at night.
Take all precautions to prevent damage to those persons who
will approach the machine while stationary:
- Park the machine so that it does not hinder other operations.
- Lower the mast on the ground.
- Place the machine in neutral and put the parking brake on.
- Remove the key from the ignition switch and lock the cab door
(if equipped).
CAUTION
Leaving a battery connected can result in shorts and, as a
consequence, in a fire.
Machine storage
In case of extended inactivity of the machine, follow the above
precautions. Additionally:
- Wash the machine thoroughly. For a better cleaning, remove
grills and protection casings.
- Carefully dry all machine parts by blowing some compressed
air.
- Lubricate the machine thoroughly.
- Do a walk-around inspection and replace any worn or damaged
part.
- Re-paint any worn or damaged part.

- Start the engine for about 10 minutes at least once a month.
- When weather is particularly cold, empty the radiator.
NOTICE

carried out even during the machine inactivity. Pay
particular attention to the fluid levels and to those parts
subject to ageing. Before re-starting the machine, carry
out an extraordinary maintenance and carefully check all
mechanical, hydraulic and electrical components.

Clean the machine in accordance with the following instructions:
- Remove any oil or grease traces with a dry solvent or a volatile
