By etching in the PIN-number or the national licence
plate number of the machine on its windows, it is
easier to identify stolen machines.
Long-term parking
If the machine is not going to be used for a longer
period, all cylinder rods must be protected against
corrosion.
1 Carry out the measures as described on
previous page. Remember that the ground on
which the machine is to stand may shift
depending on the weather. Therefore take
suitable action.
2 The temperature must not fall below -40 °C (-40
°F) or 70 °C (158 °F).
3 Check that the batteries are fully charged.
4 Wash the machine and touch up any damaged
paint finish to avoid rusting.
5 Rust-proof exposed components, lubricate the
machine thoroughly and grease all unpainted
surfaces like cylinder rods etc.
6 Fill the fuel tank and the hydraulic oil tank to the
max. marks.
7 Cover the exhaust pipe (for outdoors parking).
8 Drain water from any compressed-air reservoirs
(if installed).
9 Make sure the freezing point of the coolant is
sufficiently low (in cold weather).
10 When storing machines in extreme cold
temperatures, remove batteries and store them
at room temperature. Make sure to place the
batteries over a wooden/plastic/rubber surface.
