8. HOW TO DISABLE THE MACHINE
8.1 TRANSPORT
Before transporting the machine, empty any liquid that can be set on fire contained in the machine
(oils and fuels).
Transport must be effectuated as per the specifications described in chapter 3 (Transport and
positioning instructions).
8.2 EXTENDED SERVICE STOP
When foreseeing an extended service stop (two months at least) protect the external parts with
waterproof wax and empty the fuel tank.
During service stop, start the machine at least once every two months and let the machine idle for one
hour at least, so that the oil enters in the hydraulic system and to prevent the gaskets drying.
We recommend stocking the machine under a roof; do not cover the machine with pieces of cloth
and/or plastic materials that cause an excessive increase of the temperature and humidity.
If the machine does not work for a year or more, before re-starting the machine it is necessary to
replace the hydraulic oil and filters of the hydraulic circuit.
8.3 STRIPPING
Machine stripping has to be carried out by the manufacturer or by a specialised factory.
All the stripping operations have to be effectuated in conformity with the norms in force for accident
prevention.
Waste materials have to be divided for typology (i.e. iron scrap, aluminium, plastic, rub, etc.) and
disposed of by means of authorised structures in conformity with the laws in force.
Exhausted oils and polluting substances have to be disposed of by means of authorised structures in
conformity with the laws in force.
