4.12 STORAGE
At the end of the season, the machine
should be thoroughly inspected and
prepared for storage. Repair or replace
any worn or damaged components to
prevent any unnecessary down time at
the start of next season.
Follow this procedure when storing:
1. Wash the entire machine thoroughly
using a water hose or pressure washer
to remove all dirt, mud, debris or
residue.
2. Retract and secure all the accessories
and components.
3. Lubricate all the grease points. Make
sure all the grease cavities have been
filled with grease to remove any water
residue from the washing.
4. Inspect all the hydraulic hoses, fittings,
lines, couplers and valves. Tighten any
loose fittings. Replace any hose that is
badly cut, nicked or abraded or is
separating from the crimped end of the
fitting.
5. Check the oil level in the blower
reservoirs. Bring the oil level to the
recommended level.
