Method for Long-term Storage
If the machine is not used for a long period of time,
follow the care procedure below:
(1) Run through all maintenance and inspection
items.
(2) Service problem locations, if any.
(3) Inspect the bolt and nut in each part and tighten
them if loose.
(4) Rotate the spray pump at a low speed using clean
water to clean the inside of the tank, pipe and the
nozzle, and circulate the water for three to four
minutes. To prevent damage from freezing, drain
the liquid from inside the spray pump and the pipe
by idling the pump and by removing the water
drains (two positions).
(5) Remove the nozzle cap and drain water remaining
inside the nozzle.
(6) Clean the exterior of the machine.
(7) Change engine oil with new oil and operate the
engine for around 5 minutes to spread oil to each
part.
(8) Be sure to keep the throttle lever in the
“Low
speed
” position.
(9) Fill up the fuel tank with fuel (diesel oil).
(10) Use sandpaper, etc., to remove rust from areas
where paint has peeled, and apply a fresh coat of
paint.
(11) Keep each cock in the
“Open” position.
(12) To prevent any damage on the parts by naturally
dropped boom lift, attach the hooks to the boom lift
as shown based on the procedure below.
[1] Close the booms on both sides, adjust the
boom lift so that it is in a parallel position, and
store the booms in the boom receivers.
[2] Stop the engine.
[3] Latch the hook onto the pipe of the boom lift
(at two positions on left and right).
Caution
⚫
Do not place anything underneath the booms
when storing the machine for a long period of
time.
⚫
Remove the hooks when using the machine (at
two locations on left and right). If the hooks
cannot be disengaged due to the lowered boom
lift, start the engine and raise the boom lift to
the parallel position, and then stop the engine
and disengage the hooks.
⚫
Store the hooks carefully in a safe location to
avoid losing them.
(13) Disconnect the battery cable or remove and store
the battery in a dark, dry place.
(14) The battery will self-discharge during storage, so
perform auxiliary charge once every month.
(15) Select a dry place for storage and cover the
machine with a sheet, etc., to prevent attachment
of dust, etc.
Caution
⚫
To prevent the clutch plate from becoming
adhered, be sure to store the machine with the
brake pedal engaged onto the parking brake
lever.
