INSTRUCTIONS FOR WINTER OPERATION
5-41
LONGER STANDSTILL PERIODS OF THE MACHINE
BEFORE THE STANDSTILL
Perform the following actions, if the machine is to be taken out of
service over a longer period of time:
• Clean the entire machine, including the engine room, and let
it dry.
• If possible park the machine at a dry, roofed location. A sup-
plementary cover with a canvas cover is recommended.
If the machine must be parked outside, you need to put
wooden planks on the ground on which the machine is to be
parked and covered with a canvas cover.
• Fill up the fuel tank. Lubricate the machine and change the
oils.
• Apply a thin grease film to the piston rods of the hydraulic
cylinders.
• Disconnect the negative terminals of the battery. Cover the
battery or remove it and store filled up and completely
charged it in a dry room which is frost-free in winter.
• Check whether the coolant is set to a temperature of -34.6°F
(-37° C). Refill antifreeze, if necessary.
DURING THE STANDSTILL
Perform the following actions in order to keep the machine in op-
erating condition during the standstill:
• Danger of poisoning, if the engine is going to be run in-
doors!
Prior to starting engine indoors, ensure that there is suffi-
cient ventilation in the facility. Failure to do so could re-
sult in serious injury or even death.
• Let the engine run once a month.
• Wipe away the grease from the piston rods of the hydraulic
cylinders.
• Drive the machine over a short distance so that the movable
parts are re-coated with an oil film.
• Recharge the battery.
