Add stabilizer to the fuel tank as needed.
•
Coat the exposed piston rods of all hydraulic cylinders with a grease or corrosion preventative.
• Lubricate all grease fittings (See page 20).
•
Install boom and swivel safety hitch pins.
•
Clean the exterior of the unit to remove all dirt, grease, and any other foreign material. To prevent rust, touch up painted
surfaces that have been scratched or chipped.
If possible, store the Backhoe in a dry, protected place. If it is necessary to store the Backhoe outside, cover it with a
protective material (especially the Engine and Seat).
Center the boom. Retract the boom, crowd arm and bucket. Install the boom hitch pins and lynch pins to lock the boom
in place. Shut down the engine, remove the spark plug wire and wait 5 minutes before performing any maintenance
procedure or inspection on the backhoe.
