Machine storage

If the machine is to remain unused for a period exceeding
30 days, store it under cover or cover it with a waterproof
tarpaulin.
Clean the machine completely.
Paint all surfaces of the machine where the paintwork is
damaged, to avoid rust.
Check the machine for worn or damaged parts and replace
as necessary.
Lubricate the machine and drain the transmission, hy-
draulic oil tank, rear axle and engine and refill with the
correct grades of oil.
Check the radiator coolant level. If the machine is within
100 hours before the scheduled maintenance after 2000
hours, or within 2 months before the maintenance sched-
uled after 2 years, perform the prescribed maintenance op-
erations.
Operate the loader attachment so that all its cylinders are
in fully retracted position and rest the bucket on a block of
wood.
Place the backhoe attachment in the road travel position.
Stop the engine and operate all the hydraulic controls to
release all residual pressure from the hydraulic circuits.
Coat the exposed portions of the cylinder rods and control
valve spools with grease.
Remove the battery from the machine and store it.
Place blocks under the axles to remove the weight from the
tires.
Cover the exhaust pipe opening.

STORING THE ENGINE
If the engine is to be left unused for a long time, it is neces-
sary to conserve it by means of specific products against
rust formation.
Clean the engine with a high-pressure device.
Take the engine to the operating pressure, then stop it.
Drain the engine oil and fill in anti-corrosive oil.
Drain fuel from the tank.
Produce a mixture of 90 % diesel fuel and 10 % anticorro-
sive oil and fill the tank with it.
Let the engine run for approximately 10 min.
Stop the engine.
Manually rotate the engine several times for cylinder and
combustion chamber preservation.
