Storing the Machine
Preparing the Machine for Storage
Store the machine in a dry protected place. If the
machine must be stored outside, cover it with a
waterproof canvas or other material.
Clean all grease, dirt, mud and other foreign matter
from the machine. Wash the machine. Start and
operate machine to help rid it of puddled or excess
water. To inhibit rusting, paint all exposed surfaces.
Take the weight of the machine off of the tires by
resting the machine chassis on blocks. Do not deflate
the tires, however.
Remove drive belts, and store in wrapped condition.
Spray grooves of belt sheaves and sprockets with
anti-corrosive agent.
All exposed hydraulic cylinder rods should be coated
with Valvoline Tectyl 506 oil or equivalent. Rusty or
pitted cylinder rods will damage O-Rings and cause
leakage.
Lubricate all parts that have grease fittings, as
outlined in the '
Maintenance Intervals
' section of
this manual, to prevent rust.
With the engine OFF, remove any pressure from the
hydraulic cylinders by working the control levers back
and forth.
Store the battery inside where temperatures do not
drop below 32° F. Place the battery on wood, not on
concrete floor or steel table. Always keep the battery
fully charged. Store it away from wherever an open
flame or sparks might occur.
