BEFORE STORAGE
NOTICE
When storing the machine, set the machine in the posture
shown in the diagram on the right to protect the cylinder
rod.
(To prevent rusting of the cylinder rod)
When putting the machine in storage for a long time, do as fol-
lows.
Clean and wash all parts, then store the machine indoors. If the machine has to be stored outdoors, select
level ground and cover the machine with a sheet.
Completely fill the fuel tank, lubricate and change the oil before storage.
Apply a thin coat of grease to the metal surface of the hydraulic piston rods.
Disconnect the negative terminals of the battery and cover it or remove it from the machine and store it sepa-
rately.
Komatsu genuine Super Coolant (AF-ACL) is added to the cooling water, so there is no need to change the
density for temperatures above -10°C (14ºF).
If the temperature goes below -10°C (14ºF), adjust the density. For details, see "CLEAN INSIDE OF COOL-
ING SYSTEM (PAGE 4-23)".
Lock each control lever and pedal with the lock lever and pedal lock.
Set the stop valve to the LOCK position on machines which can install attachments. Install a plug in the elbow.
DURING STORAGE
If it is unavoidably necessary to carry out the rust-preventive operation while the machine is indoors,
open the doors and windows to improve ventilation and prevent gas poisoning.
During storage, always operate the machine once a month so that a new film of oil will be coated over movable
parts and component surfaces. At the same time, also charge the battery.
For machines equipped with an air conditioner, run the air conditioner.
Rotate the tracks.
