8.13 Storing the Machine
Short-term
storage
1. Fill the HTF reservoir if it is low.
2. Stop the machine. See topic Shutting Down and Packing Up the Machine.
3. Remove and store any accessories.
4. Allow the heater to cool sufficiently.
5. Verify that all control switches are in the OFF position.
6. Fill the fuel tank if it is low. Allow space in the fuel tank for fuel expansion.
Long-term
storage
1. Fill fuel tank with stabilized fuel and operate the burner for at least fifteen
minutes to ensure circulation through entire fuel system. Any brand of fuel
stabilizer is acceptable.
2. Allow heater to cool sufficiently. Cover the chimney and the burner with plastic
wrap or other waterproof material. This will prevent corrosive moisture build-up
and blockages caused by animal nests.
3. Shut and lock all doors.
4. If the machine has a trailer, protect the trailer tires from direct sun light.
5. When removing from storage, the machine must be prepared for operation. See
topic Preparing the Machine for Seasonal Operation.
