MACHINE STORAGE
STORING MACHINE
When storing the machine for extended periods of
time, the following procedures must be followed to
reduce the chance of rust, sludge, and other
undesirable deposits to form:
1. Drain and clean out the solution tanks.
2. Add ‘Stabil’ or equivalent fuel conditioner to
the fuel tank as recommended on the bottle.
Run the engine approximately 10 to 15
minutes to insure that the treated fuel is
completely through the fuel system.
3. Park the machine in a cool and dry area.
4. Stop the engine and set the machine
parking brake.
FOR SAFETY: Before Leaving Or
Servicing Machine; Stop On Level
Surface, Set Parking Brake, Turn Off
Machine And Remove Key.
LPG powered machines: Close the LPG
tank liquid service valve.
5. Raise and lock the scrub head.
6. Fill the hydraulic reservoir with hydraulic fluid
to the full mark on the dipstick, to prevent
excessive condensation from forming in the
reservoir.
GASOLINE POWERED MACHINES
To store the machine 30 to 90 days:
1. Park the machine in a cool and dry area.
2. Stop the engine and set the machine
parking brake.
FOR SAFETY: Before Leaving Or
Servicing Machine; Stop On Level
Surface, Set Parking Brake, Turn Off
Machine And Remove Key.
3. Change engine oil and oil filter.
4. Remove the spark plugs.
5. Pour 3 oz. (90 cc) of clean engine oil into
each spark plug hole.
6. Remove the ignition coil high tension wire.
Operate the engine starter motor for at least
a dozen revolutions. This distributes the oil
over the cylinder walls.
NOTE: Before preparing the engine for storage,
allow it to cool down to the surrounding
temperature. Oil adheres to cold metal surfaces
much better than hot surfaces.
7. Disconnect and remove battery.
8. Replace the high tension coil wire and spark
plugs.
9. Drain the gasoline from the carburetor.
10. Seal the air cleaner inlet, the exhaust outlet,
and the crankcase breather tube with
weatherproof masking tape.
11. Tighten the engine oil filler cap, the fuel tank
cap, and the radiator cap to make certain
they are securely in place.
