STORAGE
Storing the Machine
d
WARNING: When servicing indoors for long term
storage, open windows and doors to maintain good air
ventilation to prevent asphyxiation.
Check all lubricants before operating the machine after
bring stored.
Apply the parking brake while storing.
If the machine is to be stored for more than one month, observe
the following precautions so that its function will not be
impaired during storage.
Precaution Items for Long-Time Storage
Item Contents of Work
Wash Machine Wash the machine to remove mud and/or dust.
Supply Oil and Grease Check for low level/contamination of lubricating oil. Refill or change as necessary. Grease all
joints.
Apply a thin coat of oil to exposed metal and parts susceptible to rust. (i.e. cylinder rods etc.)
Fill up fuel tank completely to prevent rust in the fuel tank.
Battery Remove and fully charge the batteries, then store them in a warm place.
If the machine is equipped with the battery disconnect switch, turn the disconnect switch
OFF.
Coolant Check that anti-freeze is within specifications. Use a rust inhibitor.
Thoroughly wash the radiator by water and then dry it.
DEF/AdBlue® Make sure to store DEF/AdBlue® at 30°C (86°F) or lower. When stored for a month or more at
around 40°C (104°F), DEF/AdBlue® may decompose. If it smells like ammonia when opening
the storage container, do not use it.
DEF/AdBlue® starts freezing at -10°C (12°F). Freezing does not affect its performance once
thawed.
Never use a container used for any other liquid or oil. Contaminated DEF/AdBlue® will cause
the SCR system to work incorrectly, resulting in a vehicle operating illegally.
Prevention of Dust and
Moisture
Store the machine in a dry garage and cover it.
Tools Inspect and repair, then store.
Periodic Operation Operate the machine at least once a month to lubricate the parts.
At this time, check the coolant and lubrication oil levels. Charge the batteries.
IMPORTANT: If the machine is not periodically operated,
damage to hydraulic equipment may result due to
insufficient lubrication.
f
NOTE: Periodic operation means that a series of operations
such as drive, and loader front lift arms, bucket, and steering
operation are repeated a few times after performing warm-up.
Before operating the loader front attachment and steering
wheel, remove rust-prevention oil coated on the hydraulic
cylinder rods.
