Storage

A. Before Storing

Perform the following steps prior to placing the vehicle in storage:

1. Clean the entire vehicle.

2. Lubricate all grease fittings as described in “Lubrication Points” on

page 114.

3. Prepare the engine for storage (refer to the engine manual).

4. Apply rust inhibiting lubricant to all exposed hydraulic cylinder rods.

5. Disconnect the battery cables. Remove the battery or batteries from

the vehicle and store in a dry place where they are not subject to

temperatures near or below freezing.

6. If the ambient temperature is expected to drop below freezing at

anytime during the storage period, make sure the engine coolant is

either completely drained from the radiator and engine block or that

the amount of anti-freeze in the system is adequate to keep the

coolant from freezing.

7. Preferably, store the vehicle inside where it will remain dry. If it

must be stored outside, park it on lumber laid on flat level ground or

on a concrete slab and cover with a tarp.

B. Removing From Storage

After removing the vehicle from storage and before operating it, perform the

following steps:

1. Reinstall a properly charged battery or batteries. Secure the hold-

down bracket and attach cables.

2. Change the engine oil and filter to remove condensation or other

residuals.

3. If the vehicle has been stored for two years or more, drain the cool-

ant from the engine block and radiator and refill with a 50/50 mix-

ture of fresh anti-freeze and water. For detailed information, see

“Drain and Flush Radiator” on page 121.

4. Wipe off any rust inhibiting lubricant that was applied to vehicles

hydraulic cylinder rods prior to storing.

5. Refer to “Maintenance Schedule And Checklist” on page 109. Per-

form all the maintenance checks listed under the 10 Hour Intervals.
