MACHINE STORAGE
IMPORTANT: Do not place battery on concrete floor or in temperature below 0
°
C.
IMPORTANT: If the machine is stored with dry charged batteries or no batteries, the alternator
output lead (+) must be disconnected and insulated. Failure to do so may result in permanent
damage to the alternator.
22. If the bucket is detached for storage, secure the cylinder piston rods to the machine to avoid
damage.
23. Coat all machined and unpainted surfaces with chassis grease to prevent rust. It is
recommended to use AKORIN N-2 grease.
24. If it is desirable to leave the tires on the machine, jack the machine up and place it on blocks
leaving the tires in suspension. Deflate and cover the tires. Tires should not be exposed to
direct sunlight or any fuel or solvent vapors.
WARNING: Use extra caution when jacking up the machine. Jacking up the
machine can be hazardous if performed improperly. Use jacking equipment of
sufficient capacity. Be sure the jacking points are strong enough to support the
machine. Be sure the jack is stable and well supported. Before jacking up the
machine, block the tires which will not be lifted. Lock the frame halves together
with the locking bar and pins. If the rear tires are being lifted, block the rear axle
to prevent it from pivoting unexpectedly. DO NOT run the engine with the
machine on jacks.
3.4.2. SERVICING DURING STORAGE
ONE-MONTH REPETITIVE SERVICE PERIOD
MACHINE EQUIPPED WITH LOW MAINTENANCE BATTERIES.
Be sure batteries are fully charged. Never allow batteries to run down below 3/4 full charge.
WARNING: DO NOT charge batteries in a closed area. Provide proper
ventilation to guard against explosion of an accumulation of the gas given off in
the charging process.
SIX-MONTH REPETITIVE SERVICE PERIOD
1. Visually inspect the engine and radiator for leakage and other defects. Correct all defects,
consult Construction Equipment Distributor.
2. Remove all seals from the machine ports: crank-case and hydraulic breathers, engine air
intake, fuel tank vent lines, etc.
3. Install fully charged batteries. Refer to "BATTERIES" in Section 5.
WARNING: Be sure the electrical system master switch is off when connecting
or disconnecting batteries to minimize the chance of sparks and explosion.
WARNING: Check that batteries are level in the holders and securely held. The
hold-down fasteners should hold the batteries firmly but not tight enough to
warp or damage either the hold-down bar or batteries.
WARNING: Battery cables must be so arranged to enable easy removal of all
pugs. Lay the cables so they do not chafe against the hold-down bar . Always
connect the negative ground cable last to minimize the chance of sparks or an
explosion. Electrical master switch must be in off position and key removed.
