MACHINE TRANSPORT AND STORAGE SECTION 3 Page 7 MACHINE STORAGE NOTE: Do not leave batteries on a concrete floor or in freezing temperatures IMPORTANT: If the machine is stored with dry-charged batteries or no batteries, the alternator output lead must be disconnected and insulated. Failure to do so may result in permanent damage to the alternator. Connect the output lead only after the batteries have been activated with electrolyte. Refer to "ELECTRICAL SYSTEM". 22. If the blade is detached for storage, secure the cylinders to the machine to avoid damage. 23. Coat all machined unpainted surfaces with chassis grease to prevent rust. 3.4.2.
SERVICING MACHINE DURING STORAGE ONE-MONTH REPETITIVE SERVICE PERIOD MACHINES WITH MAINTENANCE-FREE BATTERIES: Check if batteries are fully charged. Never allow batteries to run down below ѕ full charge. SIX MONTH REPETITIVE SERVICE PERIOD 1. Visually inspect the engine and radiator for leakage and other defects. Correct all defects; consult Authorized Distributor of Construction Equipment. 2. Remove all storage seals from the machine. (i.e. crankcase and hydraulic breathers, engine air intake, fuel tank vent lines, etc.). 3. Install fully charged batteries. Refer to "ELECTRICAL SYSTEM". IMPORTANT : Check that batteries are level in the holders and securely held.
The hold- down fasteners should hold the batteries firmly but not tight enough to warp or damage either the hold- down bar or batteries. WARNING! Lay the cables so they do not chafe against the hold-down bar their fasteners. Always connect the negative ground cable last to minimize the chance of sparks or an explosion. 4. Check the coolant level in the radiator and add proper concentrations of antifreeze and coolant conditioners, if required. Refer to “COOLING SYSTEM”. NOTE: If excessive loss of coolant is detected, the problem should be corrected. Refer to “COOLING SYSTEM”. 5. Follow steps 7 through 23 of "PREPARING FOR STORAGE". 3.4.3. PREPARING FOR OPERATION 1.
Visually inspect the machine for external leakage and other defects. 2. Clean the radiator; refer to “COOLING SYSTEM”. 3. Thoroughly clean the machine. 4. Correct any defects found. Consult Authorized Distributor of Construction Equipment if necessary. 5. Remove all storage seals from the machine (i.e. crankcase and hydraulic breathers, engine air intake, fuel tank vent lines, etc.). DRESSTA TD-40C
