Storage - Hagie UpFront DTS 8T Operator's Manual

VII. STORAGE
A. Preparing the sprayer for storage.
1. Perform daily level checks, lubrication, and bolt and linkage inspections as
required in this manual in section eight on maintenance.
2. Every other season, drain the coolant from the engine and radiator. Probe the
drain holes during draining to ensure they are not clogged by sludge, scale, or
other deposits. Fill the cooling system to the top with a 50/50 water/antifreeze
mixture. Run engine to operating temperature and re-check level.
3. Add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel and fill fuel tank.
4. Run the engine until it is at operating temperature, then drain the engine oil. Refill
with fresh oil of recommended weight and install a new lubricating oil filter element.
5. With the engine at normal operating temperature, cycle all hydraulic functions
including the steering.
6. Release tension on all belts. For more detailed information, consult the
manufacturer's handbook that accompanies this manual.
7. Use plastic bags and water-resistant adhesive tape to seal the air intake opening,
all exhaust manifold openings, engine oil filler cap, hydraulic oil tank breather cap,
and fuel tank caps.
8. Disconnect and remove battery or batteries. Completely clean and charge the
battery. Coat the terminals with petroleum jelly and store battery in cool, dry place.
9. Thoroughly clean the sprayer. Touch up any painted surfaces that are scratched or
chipped. For touch-up paint recommendations contact the Hagie Manufacturing
Customer Support Department.
10. Replace worn or missing decals. See pages 5-10 for proper location of warning
decals and their corresponding part number. Warning decals and all other Hagie
decals are available through the Hagie Manufacturing Customer Support
Department.
If antifreeze is added, make sure the engine is then run to
operating temperature to assure proper mixing of solution.
