7 Care and Maintenance
7.9 Immobilization
7.9.1 Preservation (temporary immobilization)
Machine damage
due to damage to bearing (e.g. corrosion
damage) if the machine has been out of use
for more than three months.
• Perform the preservation measures.
Preservation measures:
• We recommend keeping the machine in a dry,
dust-free room during the storage period.
• Thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the
machine, including the engine.
• Lubricate the machine according to the lubrication
plan.
• Check the oil levels of all assemblies such as
axles, transmission(s), etc. and top up if
necessary.
• Check the hydraulic oil level and top up if
necessary.
• Repair any paint damage.
• Fill the diesel tank completely, to prevent
corrosion of the tank walls.
• Check the antifreeze level in the coolant and
adjust if necessary.
• Perform all the preservation measures contained
in the diesel engine Operating Manual.
• Check the tire pressure according to the
prescribed value and protect the tires from direct
sunlight.
• Treat bare piston rods with a commercially
available anti-corrosion agent.
• Remove and clean the battery and keep it
according to regulations in a dry - in winter,
frost-proof - room. Coat connections with a little
pole grease.
• Seal off the air intake opening of the air filter
system and the exhaust pipe opening.

7.9.2 During the immobilization
When the machine is out of use for 6 months, after
this time all assemblies must be brought to operating
temperature and maneuvered for approx.
15 minutes.
• Beforehand, the anti-corrosion coat must be
removed from the piston rods, and the openings
of the air filter system and the exhaust pipe freed.
• After the maneuvering cycle, preserve the
machine once more as previously described.
7.9.3 After immobilization
Before putting the machine into operation once
more, the following measures must be carried out:
• Anti-corrosion coat must be cleaned from the
piston rods.
• Seal off the air intake opening of the air filter and
the exhaust pipe opening.
• Remove the air filter insert, check its condition
and replace if necessary.
• Clean the machine with a neutral detergent.
• Check and, where required, re-charge and
re-install the battery.
• Carry out all measures for putting the diesel
engine back into operation listed in
the Engine Operating Manual.
• If the machine has been out of use for more than
6 months, the oil in the assemblies such as axles,
transmission(s), etc. must be changed.
• If hydraulic oil filters such as suction and return
filters as well as breathers have been out of use
for more than 6 months, they must be replaced.
• Lubricate the machine according to the
lubrication plan.
