STORAGE
Preparing For Storage
1. Perform daily level checks, lubrication,
and bolt/linkage inspections, as required
in this manual.
2. Every other season, drain the coolant
from the engine and radiator. Probe the
drain holes during drainage to ensure
they are not clogged by sludge, scale, or
other deposits.
Fill the cooling system to the top with a
50/50 water/antifreeze mixture. Run the
engine to operating temperature and
recheck level.
3. Add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel and fill
the tank.
4. Run the engine until it reaches operating
temperature, then drain the engine oil.
Refill with fresh oil of recommended
weight and install a new lubricating oil
filter element.
5. With the engine at normal operating tem-
perature, cycle all hydraulic functions,
including the steering.
6. Release tension on all belts.
7. Use plastic bags and water-resistant
adhesive tape to seal the air intake open-
ing, all exhaust manifold openings,
engine oil filter cap, hydraulic oil tank
breather cap, and fuel tank caps.
NOTE: If the spray boom will be stored
separately from the machine, ensure
all boom hole openings are capped
or covered with a suitable covering.
8. Tier 4 Final Engines - Plug the Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) tank venting to seal
tank exposure against environmental ele-
ments.
9. Disconnect and remove batteries. Com-
pletely clean and charge the batteries.
Coat the terminals with dielectric grease
and store the batteries in a cool place
(above freezing).
10. Thoroughly wash the machine and its
attachments. Touch up any painted sur-
faces that are scratched or chipped.
NOTE: For paint touch-up
recommendations, contact the Hagie
Customer Support department.
