LONG-TERM STORAGE

BEFORE STORAGE
3
When keeping in long-term storage (more than one month), store as follows.
q
Clean and wash all parts, then store the machine indoors. If the machine has to be stored outdoors, select
level ground and cover the machine with a sheet.
q
Completely fill the fuel tank. This prevents moisture from collecting.
q
Lubricate and change the oil before storage.
q
Apply a thin coat of grease to metal surface of the hydraulic piston rods and the idler adjusting rods.
q
Disconnect the negative terminals of the battery and cover it or remove it from the machine and store it sepa-
rately.
q
Place all control levers in the neutral position, set the work equipment lock lever and parking brake lever in the
LOCK position, and set the fuel control dial to the low idling position.
q
To prevent corrosion, be sure to fill the cooling system with Supercoolant (AF-NAC) or permanent type anti-
freeze (density between 30% and 68%).
DURING STORAGE
3
WARNING
If it is necessary to perform the rust-prevention operation while the machine is indoors, open the doors
and windows to improve ventilation and prevent gas poisoning.
q
During storage, operate and move the machine for a short distance once a month so that a new film of oil will
coat moving parts. At the same time, also charge the battery.
q
Before operating the work equipment, wipe the grease off the hydraulic piston rod.
q
For machines equipped with an air conditioner, run the air conditioner.
AFTER STORAGE
3
NOTICE
If the machine has been stored without carrying out the monthly rust-prevention operation, consult your
Komatsu distributor before using it.
When using the machine after long-term storage, do as follows before using it.
q
Wipe off the grease from the hydraulic cylinder rods.
q
Add oil and grease at all lubrication points.
q
When the machine is stored for a long period, moisture in the air will mix with the oil. Check the oil before and
after starting the engine. If there is water in the oil, change all the oil.
