Storage
Introduction
Extended storage of equipment requires preventive maintenance. Performing
these steps helps to preserve machine components and ensures the machine will
be ready for future use. While not all of these steps necessarily apply to this
machine, the basic procedures remain the same.
When
Prepare your machine for extended storage if it will not be operated for 30 days or
more.
Preparing for
storage
Follow the procedures below to prepare your machine for storage.
■
Complete any needed repairs.
■
Replenish or change oils (engine, exciter, seal and bearing housings, and
gearcase) per the intervals specified in the Periodic Maintenance Schedule.
■
Grease all fittings and, if applicable, repack bearings.
■
Inspect engine coolant. Replace coolant if it appears cloudy, is more than two
seasons old, or does not meet the average lowest temperature for your area.
■
If your machine has an engine equipped with a fuel valve, start the engine, close
the fuel valve, and run the engine until it stops.
■
Flush the pump and the hose lines by pumping clean water for a few minutes. If
the pump was used for pumping salt water, be sure to use fresh water when
flushing it.
■
Remove the covers and clean the pump’s interior. Wipe or spray all interior
surfaces with a rust-inhibiting oil.
■
Consult the engine owner’s manual for instructions on preparing the engine for
storage.
Stabilizing the
fuel
After completing the procedures listed above, fill the fuel tank completely and add a
high-quality stabilizer to the fuel.
■
Choose a stabilizer that includes cleaning agents and additives designed to
coat/protect the cylinder walls.
■
Make sure the stabilizer you use is compatible with the fuel in your area, fuel
type, grade and temperature range. Do not add extra alcohol to fuels which
already contain it (for example, E10).
■
For engines with diesel fuel, use a stabilizer with a biocide to restrict or prevent
bacteria and fungus growth.
■
Add the correct amount of stabilizer per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Storing the
machine
Perform these remaining steps to store your machine.
■
Wash the machine and allow it to dry.
■
Move the machine to a clean, dry, secure storage location. Block or chock
wheels to prevent machine movement.
■
Use touch-up paint as needed to protect exposed metal against rust.
■
If the machine has a battery, either remove or disconnect it.
NOTICE:
Allowing the battery to freeze or completely discharge is likely to cause
permanent damage. Periodically charge the battery while the machine is not in
use. In cold climates, store and charge the battery indoors or in a warm location.
