Storing the Machine
d
WARNING: When servicing indoors for long term
storage, open windows and doors to maintain good
air ventilation to prevent asphyxiation.
Check all lubricants before operating the machine
after bring stored.
Apply the parking brake while storing.
If the machine is to be stored for more than one month, observe
the following precautions so that its function will not be impaired during storage.
Item
Wash Machine
Wash the machine to remove mud and/or dust.
Supply Oil and
Check for low level/contamination of lubricating oil. Refill or change as necessary. Grease all joints.
Grease
Apply a thin coat of oil to exposed metal and parts susceptible to rust.
(i.e. cylinder rods etc.)
Fill up fuel tank completely to prevent rust in the fuel tank.
Battery
Remove and fully charge the batteries, then store them in a warm place.
If the machine is equipped with the battery disconnect switch, turn the disconnect switch OFF.
Coolant
Check that anti-freeze is within specifications. Use a rust inhibitor.
Thoroughly wash the radiator by water and then dry it.
DEF
Make sure to store DEF at 30°C (86°F) or lower. When stored for a month or more at around 40°C
(104°F), DEF may decompose. If it smells like ammonia when opening the storage container, do not
use it.
DEF may start freezing at -10°C (12°F). Freezing does not affect its performance once thawed.
Never use a container used for any other liquid or oil. Contaminated DEF will cause the SCR system
to work incorrectly, resulting in a vehicle operating illegally.
Prevention of Dust
Store the machine in a dry garage and cover it.
and Moisture
Tools
Inspect and repair, then store.
Periodic Operation
Operate the machine at least once a month to lubricate the parts.
At this time, check the coolant and lubrication oil levels. Charge the batteries.
IMPORTANT: If the machine is not periodically operated,
damage to hydraulic equipment may result due to
insufficient lubrication.
f
NOTE: Periodic operation means that a series of operations
such as drive, and loader front lift arms, bucket, and steering
operation are repeated a few times after performing warm-
up.
Before operating the loader front attachment and steering
wheel, remove rust-prevention oil coated on the hydraulic
cylinder rods.
