8. Storage
To ensure a long, trouble-free life, the following procedure should be followed
when preparing the unit for storage after the season’s use.
• Lock out all power.
• Store the machine on a level surface, free of debris, and in an area away
from human activity. Store in a dry place, or use a tightly secured tarp to
protect the equipment from the weather.
• Ensure that the unit is in transport position.
• Remove all residual material and clean the machine thoroughly.
• Inspect the unit at stress points for cracks.
• Repair or replace any worn or damaged components to prevent any
unnecessary downtime at the start of the next season.
• Touch up paint nicks and scratches to prevent rusting.
• Check hydraulic fittings, hoses, lines, couplers, and valves. Tighten any
loose fittings. Replace any hose that is badly cut, nicked, abraded, or is
separating from the crimped end of the fitting. Secure the hoses to the
machine.
• Inspect and tighten all fasteners; replace fasteners if required.
• Inspect mast cylinder head nut and other hydraulic cylinders for leaks.
Replace seals if necessary.
• Retract all cylinders or grease exposed shafts.
