LONG PERIODS OF INACTIVITY
149
If the machine must be stored for a long period of inactivity, it is advisable to put it in a sheltered place and to take
the following precautions, in order to keep all its components sound and efficient:
1 -Clean the machine thoroughly, repainting it where necessary in order to prevent oxidation.
2 -Drain and replace all the hydraulic circuit fluids and the lubricants (axles, reduction gears, converter and en-
gine), keeping to the rules indicated in the section regarding maintenance.
3 -Change all the filtering elements (air cleaner, engine oil filter, hydrulic circuit filters, diesel oil filter).
4 -To avoid the deformation of the tyre sidewalls, insert supports under the axles, in such a way as to relieve the
weight of the machine.
5 -Change the coolant (permanent coolant).
6 -Drain the normal fuel and fill the tank with at least 10 liters of special washing and protecting fuel.
7 -Let the engine run for about 10 minutes, in such a way as to eliminate the residual normal fuel from the filters,
the injection pump and the entire fuel supply system. This operation avoids the locking of the injection pump
and the injectors.
Stop the engine and refuel with normal diesel oil.
8 -Remove the battery, check the electrolyte level and make sure that the battery charge is sufficient. Store the
battery in a room with suitable temperature and periodically recharge it.
9 -Grease the hydraulic cylinder rods and the equipment joints.
10 -Seal the end of the exhaust pipe and the fuel tank cap.
11 -Move the machine controls to the neutral position and engage the mechanical safety locks of the equipment
controls.
12 -Hang a warning notice on the steering wheel to indicate the condition of the machine.
13 -Lock the cab doors, the fuel tank cap and the engine hood.
