WAREHOUSING AND STORAGE

If the crane remains idle for a prolonged period of time, it is necessary to take the following steps:
* Clean the crane thoroughly for example with a pressure washer.
* Lubricate all lubrication points after washing. This will eliminate any water that may have entered
the bearings and prevent corrosion.
* Oil the exposed cylinder arms and valve levers, for example, by spraying.
* Check the turning device's oil level, if necessary. Let out a little oil from the drain plug; this re-
moves any possible condensation water from the turning device.
* Let out a little oil from the quick coupler. If the storage temperature increases (winter
the oil volume increases and the hydraulic system becomes pressurised.
* Touch up the spots where the paint is chipped or worn off.
* Repair any detected faults and shortcomings to ensure the crane's proper functioning at commis-
sioning.
* Keep the crane's turning device in an upright position and support it enough to prevent tipping.
* The crane should be kept away from direct sunlight, preferably in a shed.
