8. STORAGE

If the machine is not going to be used for extended periods, it must be stored in a place protected
from the elements to prevent damage. Before storing the machine, it is recommended that you
clean it thoroughly and lubricate all mechanical components to protect them from rust.
The machine should be stored at a temperature between 0 °C and 40 °C.
Before storing the machine for long periods, it is recommended to perform the following tasks:
• Remove any residues of plant material from the equipment.
• Clean the machine thoroughly.
• Visually inspect the whole machine to identify any structural damage or deep scratches on the
paintwork. Make sure that the original safety signs are still present in their proper positions and
that they are intact and legible.
• Grease all mechanical parts that are subject to friction, the locking pins and all machine parts
that are no longer covered with their original coating of paint in order to prevent rust from forming.
• If possible, store the machine in a clean dry covered area on a firm level surface.
• Make sure that the ignition key is removed and the remote control is kept in a safe place.
WARNING
If the machine or any parts of it were decommissioned, all parts that could
constitute a hazard must be made safe.
DANGER
The fluids contained in the machine, once drained from the circuits and
tanks must be collected into appropriate receptacles, taking care that the
