LONG STORAGE
To avoid personal injury:
A Do not clean the excavator with the engine running.
A To avoid the danger of exhaust fume poisoning, do not operate the engine in a closed building without
proper ventilation.
A When storing, remove the key from the starter switch to avoid unauthorized persons from operating the
excavator and getting injured.
A Bring the excavator on a firm, flat, and level surface. Lower the attachments and dozer blade on the ground.
B Should the Excavator be Stored for a Longer Period of Time, Observe Following Procedures:
1. The whole excavator should be cleaned thoroughly and in all cases stored indoors. If the excavator has to be kept
outdoors, lay out wooden planks on even ground, place the excavator on the planks and cover completely.
2. Do an oil change and grease the excavator.
3. Heavily grease the visible section of the cylinder rods.
4. Remove the battery and store indoors.
5. If it is expected that the temperature will sink below the 0 mark, add anti-freeze or drain coolant completely.
A Wash the excavator after stopping the engine.
If you wash the excavator while running the engine, splashing water gets into the air cleaner through its intake and
cause engine damage.
Carefully, wash and do not splash water over the air cleaner while the engine is running.
B Observe Following Procedures when the Machine is to be Operated after Long Storage.
1. Wipe off the grease from the hydraulic cylinder rods.
2. Turn on the engine and operate the attachments and the drive mechanisms under no load in order to circulate the
hydraulic oil.
(If the machine is stored for longer than one month, do steps 1 and 2 once every month.)
