STORAGE
If the machine is to be taken out of operation for a period longer than
one month, the following precautions should be taken.
Ideally, the battery charger should be switched on. The charger has
an inbuilt maintenance mode, and will maintain the battery in good
condition indefinitely, although obviously the electrolyte level must
still be checked periodically. If this is not practical, then the charger
should be switched on once a week for half an hour. This is especially
important in cold conditions.
The hydraulic oil must be replaced (recommended after 3 months of
non-use) as for the procedure in the Maintenance Procedures section.
If the storage period is for an undetermined period, it is advisable
that the battery be removed and stored in a secure battery storage
container. It is also recommended that all external electrical and
hydraulic connections be wax coated to prevent corrosion.
