PRECAUTIONS FOR LONG-TERM STORAGE
PREPARATION FOR LONG-TERM STORAGE
NOTICE
When storing the machine (more than 1 month), set the
machine in the posture shown in the figure to protect the
hydraulic cylinder piston rods.
(To prevent the cylinder piston rods from rusting)
When putting the machine in storage for a long time (more than 1 month), do as follows.
• Clean and wash all the parts of the machine and store it indoors.
If the machine has to be stored outdoors, select a level ground and cover it with waterproof sheet.
• Fill up the fuel tank.
This prevents dew condensation.
• Grease the machine and change the oil before storage.
• Coat the exposed portion of the hydraulic cylinder piston rod with grease.
• Disconnect the negative (-) terminal of the battery and cover it or remove it from the machine and store it
separately.
When the machine is equipped with the battery disconnect switch, turn the starting switch to OFF position,
and after checking that the system operating lamp is not lit, set the key of the battery disconnect switch (if
equipped) to OFF position and pull it out. Cover the battery for storage.
• Fix each control lever and pedal with the lock lever and lock cover.
• Plug the outlets (2 places) of piping for the attachment of
the machine ready for installation of attachment.
• If the machine is ready for installation of attachment, set
the selector valve (1) to “General attachments such as
crusher” position (a).
• To prevent rust, fill the cooling circuit with Non-Amine En-
gine Coolant (AF-NAC) to give a density of 30 % or more
for the engine coolant.
