STORAGE
Storing the Machine
In case the machine is to be stored for longer than one month, pay attention to the following points to prepare next
operation.
Item
Remedy
Machine Cleaning
Wash the machine. Remove soil or other debris adhered to the machine.
Lubrication/Greasing
Check lubricant's level and contamination. Fill up or change if necessary. Lubricate all grease
points.
Coat grease to exposed metal surfaces which are subject to rust (i.e. cylinder rods etc.).
Battery
Remove the batteries and store them in a dry protected place after charging fully. If not
removed, disconnect the negative battery cable from the ( ) terminal.
Coolant
Add anti-rusting agent. If storing in extremely cold areas, either add extra anti-freeze or drain
coolant completely to avoid freezing. In this case, place a sign reading "NO COOLANT".
Protection Against Dust
and Moisture
Store the machine in a dry storage area using a protective cover.
Tools
Inspect and repair, then store.
Lubrication Operation
If oil film on the metal surfaces is lost, rust may begin, possibly causing abnormal wear of the
machine when the machine operation is restarted. If the machine is stored for a long time,
operate hydraulic functions for travel, swing and digging two to three times for lubrication,
at least once a month. Be sure to check the coolant level and lubrication conditions before
operating. Charge the batteries at this time.
f
NOTE:
Lubricating operation is a series of warm-up, travel, swing and digging operation carried out repeatedly for a few cycles
at slow speed.
Lubricants will deteriorate during long term storage of the machine. Be sure to carefully check the lubricants before
restarting operation of the machine.
Refer to "Using Rubber Crawler" in the OPERATING THE MACHINE section for the machines equipped with rubber crawlers.
