LONG STORAGE

LONG STORAGE

To avoid personal injury or death:

Do not clean the excavator with the engine running.

To avoid the danger of exhaust fume poisoning, do not operate the engine in a closed building without
proper ventilation.

When storing, remove the key from the starter switch to avoid unauthorized persons from operating the
excavator and getting injured.

Bring the excavator on a firm, flat, and level surface. Lower the attachments and dozer blade on the ground.

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.

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.

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. 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 1 month, do steps 1 and 2 once every month.)

Periodic replacement of important component parts

To ensure safety in operation, you are strongly requested to inspect and service the machine at regular intervals. For added
safety, ask your KUBOTA dealer to replace the following important component parts periodically.
These parts are prone to degradation in material or subject to wear and tear with time. It is difficult to judge how much they
have been affected at regular inspection. It is therefore necessary to replace them with new ones after a specified time of
use, whether wear is visible or not.
If any of them is found worn even before the specified use, it must be repaired or replaced the same way as other parts.
If any of the hose clamps is found deformed or cracked, the hose clamp must also be replaced.
For the hydraulic hoses other than the ones to be replaced periodically, inspect them for the following points. If found
unusual condition, tighten them up, replace them.
When replacing the hydraulic hoses, change their O rings and sealings with new ones.
For replacement of the important parts, contact your KUBOTA dealer.

At the following periodic inspections, check the fuel hoses and hydraulic hoses as well.
