LONG TERM STORAGE
LONG TERM STORAGE
BEFORE STORAGE
NOTICE
When storing the machine (1 month or more), set the machine in the
posture shown in the diagram on the right to protect the cylinder rod.
(To prevent rusting of the cylinder rod)
When putting the machine in storage for a long time (more than 1 month), do as follows.
Clean and wash all parts, then store the machine indoors. If the machine has to be stored outdoors, select level
ground and cover the machine with canvas.
Completely fill the fuel tank. This prevents moisture from collecting.
Lubricate and change the oil before storage.
Coat the exposed portion of the hydraulic cylinder piston rod with grease.
Disconnect the negative terminals of the battery and cover it or remove it from the machine and store it separately.
Set the attachment control pedal to the lock position on machines ready for attachments.
Set the stop valve to the LOCK position on machines ready for attachments. Install the blind plugs to the elbows.
For details of the LOCK and FREE positions of the stop valve, see "ATTACHMENT REMOVAL AND
INSTALLATION (PAGE 6-15)".
To prevent rust, fill with COOLANT to give a density of at least 30% for the engine coolant.
DURING STORAGE
If it is necessary to perform the rust-prevention operation while the machine is indoors, open the doors and windows to improve
ventilation and prevent gas poisoning.
During storage, operate and move the machine for a short distance once a month so that a new film of oil will coat
moving parts. At the same time, also charge the battery.
When operating the work equipment, wipe off all the grease from the hydraulic cylinder rods.
If the machine is equipped with an air conditioner, operate the air conditioner for 3 to 5 minutes once a month to
lubricate all parts of the air conditioner compressor. Always run the engine at low idle when doing this. In addition,
check the refrigerant level twice 1 year.
