Storage; Storing The Chipper - Timberwolf TW 280TVGTR Instruction Manual

STORAGE

STORING THE CHIPPER

Perform the following tasks at the storage intervals indicated, following procedures described within this manual.
Maintenance Tasks
Allow the engine to cool down.
Clean the chipper, removing all woodchips.
Perform routine maintenance.
Check all fasteners and retighten.
Remove all fuel from the tank. NOTE: Either allow the machine to run until all fuel has been
used, or drain from the plug provided. If necessary, siphon the fuel into an approved storage
container (refer to re-fuelling section). Drain prior to moving machinery, to prevent spillage.
Disassemble the spark plug (petrol machines) or remove battery cables (diesel machines).
Where paint is damaged, touch up paint or treat with a lubricant. NOTE: Original paint colours
are available from Timberwolf dealers.
Store the chipper in a dry place at +5°C to +40°C. NOTE: Timberwolf strongly recommends the
machine is stored in a sheltered location, protected from rain. If the machine is stored outside,
it must be well protected with tarpaulin.
If relative humidity of the storage environment is > 60%, the shaft of the engine must be
rotated by hand 1-2 revolutions bi-weekly. Prior to rotating the shaft, 20 to 30 ml of engine oil
should be poured onto the bearing liner.
Every 3 months, inspect the machine as per <1 month column.
Clean out and drain all lubrication lines, including grease pipes, coolant reservoirs, fuel lines, oil
reservoirs. Replace with new lubricants. NOTE: This should be performed at 6 month intervals
(months 6 & 12) until recommissioned. Drain prior to moving machinery, to prevent spillage.
Keep machine in original container/packaging or equivalent protection and store in a location
free from extremes in temperature, at a min. temp. of +5°C and max. +40°C, humidity and
corrosive environments. NOTE: If the storage location is cold, damp or severe humidity
changes exist, adequate action should be taken to safeguard machinery.
If machine is exposed to environmental conditions such as humidity during storage, inspect
bearing lubrication system for presence of water. If water is detected in the lubricant, flush out
the bearing housing and re-lubricate immediately.
All breathers and drains are to be operable while in storage and/or the moisture drain plugs
removed. The machinery must be stored so the drain(s) are at the lowest point, while the
machine is in its stable position.
Follow the recommissioning process before operation.
NOTE:
Regardless of storage time, all Timberwolf machines must be in a stable, level position with the discharge tube pointing
away from the driver's platform.
