Storing the machine for a lengthy period
Take the following measures if you intend to take the machine out of service
for a lengthy period (3-12 months):
Step Activity
1 Drain the fuel tank until it is nearly empty and fill with FAME*-
free fuel. Operate the engine for a few minutes so that only
FAME-free fuel is still in the fuel system.
2 Change the engine oil and oil filter (see chapter 8.2.5 Change
the engine oil and oil filter, page 56 ).
3 Change the fuel filter (see chapter 8.2.10 Changing the fuel fil-
ter, page 67 ).
4 Let the machine cool down.
5 Remove the battery in accordance with the Operator's Manual
for the machine and store at ambient temperature. Comply with
the local regulations as well as the regulations of the battery
manufacturer for the storage of batteries.
6 Close and seal all engine openings (air intake openings, air out-
let openings and the exhaust gas opening) so that no foreign
bodies can enter, but a small amount of air can still be ex-
changed. This avoids condensation.
7 After the machine has cooled down, cover it to protect it against
dust and store it in a dry and clean place.
*FAME = Fatty Acid Methyl Ester
Ambient conditions during storage
▪ Max. permissible storage temperature: -25 °C to +60 °C
