STORAGE
Storing the machine
Geographic, environmental and actual storage conditions make it difficult to follow a set storage procedure for all
areas and conditions. The following procedure is for a storage period of six months or longer. This procedure is a
good starting point but may not be all inclusive. If you have questions about storing your machine, contact your dealer.
1. Prior to storing, inspect the machine for visible signs of
wear, breakage, or damage. Order any parts required
and make the necessary repairs to avoid delays when
starting the next operating period.
2. Prior to storing, wash the machine.
3. Lubricate the entire machine.
4. Paint any areas where the paint has been damaged.
5. Move all hydraulic controls through their complete
ranges several times to relieve any pressure in the
circuits.
6. Drain the fuel tank.
7. Put approximately
8 l
(
2.1 US gal
) of diesel flushing oil
in the fuel tank. Run the engine until the exhaust smoke
is blue-white.
8. Drain the flushing oil from tank.
9. Fill the fuel tank and add diesel fuel conditioner by fol-
lowing the directions on the container.
10. Change the engine oil and replace the filter.
11. Drain the cooling system. Leave the drains open and
do not tighten the radiator cap.
12. Put a DO NOT OPERATE or OUT OF SERVICE tag
or marker in the cab.
13. Replace the air filter elements if the hours of operation
or time interval will lapse during storage.
14. Cover the exposed cylinder rods, and valve spools
and any other bare metal parts with a rust and cor-
rosion preventive.
15. Remove and clean the battery. Fully charge the bat-
tery. Store the battery in a cool dry place where it will
not freeze.
16. Cover exhaust outlet.
17. Park the machine inside a building. If a building is not
available, park the machine in a dry area on planks
and cover with a waterproof cover.
