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.

- Start the engine for about 10 minutes at least once a month.

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.
