LONG-TERM STORAGE
PRESERVATION
1. Clean and touch up damaged paint surfaces.
2. Fill the hydraulic tank to operating level with the platform fully lowered. Fluid should be
visible on the tank dip stick.
3. Coat exposed portions of cylinder rods with a preservative such as multipurpose grease
and wrap with barrier material.
4. Coat all exposed un-painted metal surfaces with a light oil or other preservative.
5. Cover the machine with tarpaulin if possible. If this is not available it is advisable to cover
the mast and jib mount area as a minimum. This will prevent moisture from entering the
mast, battery and chassis areas.

BATTERIES
1. Disconnect the batteries at the battery disconnect switch located on the right hand side of the
chassis (refer to Figure 3).
2. Better battery life and efficiency is achieved if the batteries are used consistently. It is
therefore recommended that the batteries are used elsewhere if the machine is to be unused
for an extended period (2 weeks or more).
