MACHINE TRANSPORT AND STORAGE SECTION 3 Page 7 3.4. MACHINE STORAGE 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. Be sure that batteries are always set down horizontally. WARNING! Ends of the wires should be so arranged that access to the plugs is ensured. Also the wires should not rub hold-down bars.
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. Perform steps 7 through 23 of "PREPARING FOR STORAGE". 3.4.3. PREPARING FOR OPERATION AFTER THE STORAGE 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.). 6. Replace the air cleaner filter elements. Refer to “AIR CLEANING SYSTEM”. 7. Remove and discard fuel filters and replace with new. Refer to “FUEL SYSTEM”. 8. Fill the fuel tank with approved diesel fuel. Refer to “FUEL SYSTEM”. DRESSTA TD-20H
