12. Winterizing the machine
• Clean the machine (read “11.5.2 Daily maintenance” on page 70).
• Store the machine in a dry place that is protected from rain, and if necessary, cover it with a
tarpaulin.
• Always allow the machine to cool down before storage.
• If the machine is to be stored outside, it must be well protected with a tarpaulin. Ensure that
water does not directly fall onto the machine. At ELIET, we strongly recommend that the
machine is stored at a location that is well protected from the weather, etc.
• When winterizing the machine for long periods, it is recommended to perform the following
steps:
• Perform a 50-hour overhaul. (read “11.5.6 Maintenance after 50 hours” on page 71).
• Check all nuts and bolts for correct tightness, and where necessary, retighten them.
• Places where the paint coating is damaged are repainted or covered with grease in
order to prevent rust. Original ELIET paints in the same colour are available from your
ELIET Dealer (article no.: BX 043.200.400).
