* See manufacturer’s instructions in the engine ma-
nual that accompanies the roller.
* Remove the battery from the roller, clean it, check
that the electrolyte level is correct and trickle charge
the battery once a month.
* Cover the air cleaner or its opening with plastic or
tape. Cover the exhaust opening. This is necessary
to prevent moisture from entering the engine.
Fill the fuel tank completely to prevent condensation.
Drain off any condensation water and fill the hydrau-
lic reservoir to the upper mark.
Lubricate the steering joint bearings and the steering
cylinder’s two bearings with grease.
Grease the steering cylinder’s piston with
conservation grease.
Grease also the engine compartment cover’s hin-
ges, the seat slide rails, the engine-speed control
and the forward/reverse control mechanism.
Ensure that tire pressure is 110 kPa (1.1 kp/ cm
2

* Place the instrument cover on the steering column.
Cover the entire machine with a tarpaulin, which
should hand some way off the ground. If possible,
store the roller indoors, preferably in a building with a
uniform temperature.
