4.10 STORAGE
Storage:
To prepare the machine for storage,
remove the inlet pipe and spray the blower
clean with water, then run at idle for 5
minutes to dry the inside of the tank,
piping, blower and airlock. This will
prevent any residue from caking on the
internal components.
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.
When storing, follow this procedure:
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 accessories and
components.
3. Lubricate all grease points. Make sure all
grease cavities have been filled with grease to
remove any water residue from the washing.
4. Inspect all 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 to the recommended level.
6. Install the plugs into the receiver tank inlet.
7. Empty pre-cleaner tank.
8. Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to
prevent rusting.
9. All hoses should be stored inside or under a
shelter.
10. Move the machine to its storage position.
11. Select an area that is dry, level and free of
debris.
12. Place planks under the jack for added support.
