7.10 Shutdown
7.10.1 Preservation (temporary shutdown)
In order to prevent damage (corrosion, etc.) from
storage during shutdown periods over three
months, certain preservation measures must be
taken:
•
We recommend keeping the machine in a dry,
dust-free room during the storage period.
•
Clean the inside and outside of the machine,
including the engine.
•
Lubricate the machine in compliance with the
lubrication plan.
•
Check the oil levels of all assemblies, such as
transmission (s), etc. and top up if necessary.
•
Check the hydraulic oil level and top up if
necessary.
•
Repair paint damage.
•
Fill the diesel tank completely, in order to
prevent corrosion of the tank walls.
•
Check the antifreeze level in the coolant and
adjust if necessary.
•
Perform all the preservation measures
contained in the diesel engine operating
instructions.
•
Ensure that the crawler chain tension
corresponds to the prescribed values and
protect the rubber crawler chains from direct
sunlight.
•
Treat bare piston rods with a commercially
available anti-corrosion agent.
•
Remove and clean the battery and keep it in
compliance with regulations in a dry - in winter,
frost-proof - room. Coat connections with a
little pole grease.
•
Seal off the air intake opening of the air filter
system and the exhaust pipe opening.
7.10.2 During shutdown
•
When the machine is out of use for 6 months,
after this time all assemblies must be brought
to operating temperature and maneuvered for
approx. 15 min.
•
Beforehand, the anti-corrosion coat must be
removed from the piston rods, and the
openings of the air filter system and the
exhaust pipe freed.
•
After the maneuvering cycle, preserve the
machine once more as previously described.
7.10.3 After shutdown
Before putting the machine into operation once
more, the following measures must be carried out:
•
Anti-corrosion coat must be cleaned from the
piston rods.
•
The openings of the air filter and exhaust pipe
must be freed.
•
Check the condition of the air filter main
cartridge / safety cartridge and replace if
required.
•
Clean the machine with a neutral detergent.
•
Check and - if required - re-charge and re-
install the battery.
•
Carry out all measures for putting the diesel
engine back into operation stated in the engine
operating instructions.
•
If the machine has been out of use for more
than 6 months, the oil in the assemblies such
as transmission(s), etc. must be changed.
•
If hydraulic oil filters (suction and return filters,
and breathers - in so far as installed) have
been out of use for more than 6 months, they
must be replaced.
•
Lubricate the machine in compliance with the
lubrication plan.
