MACHINE STOPPING DUE TO INACTIVITY
When anticipating a long period of machine inactivity, it is recommended to place it under cover in
a dry place.
Below follows some advice and precautions to take before shutting down the machine.
- Thoroughly clean and wash the machine with pressurised water and dry it, especially in the
zones not protected by paint or without special protections. Touch up any chips or scratches to
prevent harmful oxidation.
- Completely empty out the fuel tank and fill it with about 10 litres of diesel fuel with added oil, and
then drain the system. Start the engine and let it run for about 10-15 minutes to ensure uniform
distribution of the lubricant. When the operation has been completed and before switching off the
engine, lower the machine arms, laying the bucket on the ground and inserting a piece of wood.
Then again fill the fuel tank with diesel fuel.
- Completely change the oil of the diesel engine, hydraulic system and wheel reduction gears,
taking care to replace the various filters.
- Dismantle the battery, checking the level, top up with distilled water if necessary and store it in a
dry and protected place.
Periodically check the level during inactivity.
- Lubricate all the grease points, rods, articulated joints and those delicate parts requiring special
care and protection.
RESTARTING AFTER INACTIVITY
To restart the machine after inactivity follow the instructions listed and recommended below:
- Remount the battery, checking the level and charge.
- Check the levels of the engine oil, hydraulic system and wheel reduction gears.
- Start the engine and leave it to idle for about 10-15 minutes. On completion, check perfect
functioning of the various mechanical and electrical parts and the hydraulic controls.
