If the machine is not to be used for a long period, prepare it for storage as follows:
- Clean the body (inside, outside and underside), the arm and the grab. Remove any product build-
up. If necessary, repaint any surface in danger of rusting. Grease the underbody.
- When using a pressure cleaner, pay attention to the sensitive areas (ram joints, electrical
connections, etc.).
- Bring the ram rods right in to protect them from moisture and dust.
- Grease the drive chains.
- Check that the belt is slack.
- Clean all greasing points and joints. Grease.
- Where possible, store your machine in a sheltered area on blocks to protect it from ground damp.
- Check tyre pressure and wheel bolt tightness.
