PRECAUTIONS FOR LONG-TERM STORAGE
When storing the machine for a long period (one month or longer), maintain the machine with attention
to the following points, so that decrease in function does not occurs at the next operation.
3.18.1
WASHING
Wash the machine thoroughly, inspect and maintain the travel system components and put grease to
the greasing points.
3.18.2
REFILLING/GREASING
Check the level and contamination of the fuel oil and hydraulic oil. Refill the oil if the level is low, and
replace the oil if the oil is contaminated.
Lubricant gets deteriorated while the machine is not in use. Use extreme caution when starting to use
the machine at the next time.
Apply a sufficient quantity of anti-rust oil to any parts which rust easily, especially to the exposed
area of each cylinder piston rod.
3.18.3
BATTERY
Remove the negative (-) terminal from the battery, and cover the battery, or remove the battery from
the machine for storage.
To compensate the self-discharge during storage, perform the auxiliary charge at least once a month.
3.18.4
COOLANT
If there is a possibility of freezing, mix the antifreeze (non-amine type) into the radiator.
However, it is usually not necessary because long life coolant is already mixed.
