STORAGE
Preparing for storage
The following procedure applies when the machine is to be stored for a month or more. Store the machine on flat,
level ground, inside a building or, if not possible, outside and covered with a tarpaulin. Before storing the machine,
carry out the following operations:
1.
Clean the machine.
2.
Make sure that the machine has no damaged or
missing parts. Replace them if necessary.
3.
Retract the cylinder rods as for as possible and
lower the boom until the attachment is resting on the
ground.
4.
Grease the machine thoroughly. The exposed sur-
faces of the cylinder rods should be greased or cov-
ered with a protective film. Consult your CASE CON-
STRUCTION Dealer.
NOTE: When the machine resumes service, the film will
disappear automatically.
5.
While the engine is still warm, drain the oil sump,
replace the oil filter and fill with specified oil. Check
the oil level and add more if necessary.
6.
Clean or replace the air filter element.
7.
Check the level of coolant solution. If the machine
is within 100 hours of the next scheduled coolant
change, change the coolant now.
8.
Remove the batteries, clean the battery housings
and make sure not to leave any traces of acid. Store
the batteries safely in a cool and dry location, where
the temperature is higher than 0 °C (32.0 °F) or dis-
connect the cable from the negative (-) terminal.
9.
Paint any areas where the paintwork is not good.
10.
Plug the air filter inlet and the exhaust pipe.
11.
Remove the ignition key and place a "Do not operate"
label on the right-hand control arm and then place
the function cancellation lever in the central position
(safety bar in inward position).
12.
Lock the hoods, side doors and the cab door.
