Storage
If outdoors storage is necessary, protect the machine
with the designated weather cover (part no. 65435).
Do not use the full, closed
transport and weather cover over
long periods of time as it promotes
corrosion due to moisture that will
condense inside it. The light
weather cover can be used.
Preparing the engine for long term storage:
If the engine will be out of service for 2 months or
more, follow the procedure below
1.
Add Kohler PRO Series fuel treatment or
equivalent to fuel tank (Gasoline engines only).
Run engine 2-3 minutes to get stabilised fuel
into fuel system.
Alternatively, empty the fuel tank completely,
start and run then engine until fuel lines and
carburettors/injection system are completely
drained and engine shuts down.
Old or stale fuel may cause the engine to not
start after storage and may clog up the fuel
system, requiring service. Effects of old fuel are
not covered by the warranty.
2.
Change engine oil while engine is still warm
from operation. Remove spark plugs and pour
about 20 ml of fresh engine oil into cylinders.
Replace spark plugs and crank engine slowly
to distribute oil. Do not use starter to crank the
engine, severe engine damage may occur with
oil in cylinders.
Alternatively, apply spray type vaseline through
spark plug holes to protect cylinders.
3.
Store loader in a clean, dry place.
See the engine owner’s manual to prepare the
engine for long term storage and how to start it after
long storage period.
After storage:
When taking the loader back to service after a long
storage period:
1.
If engine was prepared for storage with oil in
cylinders, make sure to follow steps to drain
the engine before operating the starter.
2.
Perform daily inspections, (see " Daily
inspections " on page 60).
Storage of LPG gas
Store gas bottle in upright position with its protective
cap fitted. Store the gas bottle preferably outdoors, in
upright position. Keep gas bottle protected heat
sources and from direct sunlight. Temperature at the
storage area for the gas bottle must not rise above
40°C (104°F).
LPG gas is heavier than air and therefore bottles
must not be stored in cellars or places, garages with
a pit, or other areas where gas might accumulate.
Shut off tank valve. If possible, run engine on idle in
a well-ventilated area until fuel system is empty and
engine stops. If unable to run engine, work in a
well-ventilated area and carefully loosen inlet fuel
fitting on vaporizer/regulator, slowly venting off fuel
from line. When fuel is dispensed, re-tighten fitting
and remove quick connect fitting to allow fuel to
escape from line.
