4.11 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.
6. Install the plugs into the receiver tank inlet
7. Empty the pre-cleaner tank. Check inside the
receiver tank to make sure it is empty.
8. Apply "never seize" or grease to the
boom cylinder ram.
9. Touch up all paint nicks and scratches
to prevent rusting.
10. All hoses should be stored inside or
under a shelter.
11. Move the machine to its storage position.
12. Select an area that is dry, level and free of
debris.
13. Place planks under the jack for added
support.
14. Unhook the machine from the tractor/power
unit. (Refer to Section 4.6)
