Storing the Loader
If the skid-steer loader is to be stored for a period in excess of two months, the
following procedures are suggested:
1. Fully inflate the tires.
2. Lubricate all grease zerks.
3. Check all fluid levels and replenish as necessary. (Review and follow the
engine manufacturers recommendations from the Engine Operator’s Manual.)
4. Add stabilizer to the fuel per the fuel supplier’s recommendations. If the fuel
has a mixture of BioDiesel, empty the fuel tank before storing.
5. Turn the electrical battery disconnect switch to its OFF position and remove
the battery, charge it fully and store in a cool, dry location.
6. Protect against extreme weather conditions such as moisture, sunlight and
temperature.
Removing Loader from Storage
1. Check the tire air pressure and inflate the tires if they are low.
2. Connect the battery and check that the electrical battery disconnect switch is
turned to its ON position.
3. Check all fluid levels (engine oil, transmission/hydraulic oil, engine coolant
and any attached implements). (Review and follow the engine manufacturers
recommendations from the Engine Operator’s Manual.)
4. Start the engine. Observe all gauges. If all gauges are functioning properly
and reading normal, move the machine outside.
5. Once outside, park the machine and let the engine idle for at least five min-
utes.
6. Shut the engine off and walk around machine. Make a visual inspection look-
ing for evidence of leaks.
