17. Storage

m Caution
Do not clean the excavator with the engine run-
ning.
m Caution
To avoid the risk of exhaust poisoning, do not run
the engine in a closed building without good ven-
tilation.
m Caution
Remove the key from the ignition lock during
storage to prevent unauthorised persons from
operating the excavator and injuring themselves.
Observe the following sequences if the excavator
is to be stored for an extended period:
1. The entire excavator should be thoroughly
cleaned and stored indoors. If the excavator has
to be stored outdoors, lay out wooden planks on
a level surface, place the excavator on them and
cover it completely.
2. Change the oil and lubricate the excavator.
3. Lubricate the visible sections of the piston rods
particularly well.
4. Remove the battery and store it indoors.
Important!
Wash the excavator with the engine switched

excavator carefully to avoid splashing water over

Follow the procedures below if the machine is to
be put into operation after a long period of storage.
1. Wipe the grease off the hydraulic cylinder rods.
2. Switch on the engine and activate the attachments
and the drive mechanism without load to allow the
hydraulic oil to circulate. (If the machine is stored
for longer than one month, carry out steps (1) and
(2) every month.)

18. Maintenance

Place the machine on a level, firm surface before
starting maintenance work. Lower the attachments
to the ground, stop the engine and release the cylin-
der pressure by operating the levers. When disman-
tling hydraulic parts, ensure that the hydraulic oil has
cooled down sufficiently to prevent burns.
Start the maintenance work carefully, i.e. loosen the
screws slowly so that no oil splashes out.
1. Allow the excavator to cool down sufficiently be-
fore working on the engine, the exhaust system,
the heat protection system and the hydraulics.
2. Always switch off the engine when filling it with
petrol. Avoid spilling and overfilling with petrol.
3. Smoking is prohibited when refuelling and han-
dling the battery! Keep sparks and fire away from
the fuel tank and battery. Flammable gases es-
cape from the battery.
4. If the battery is empty, the machine can be started
by pulling the cable.
5. Avoid short-circuiting the battery. Always remove the
earth cable first and connect the positive cable first.
6. Have a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher ready
at all times.
7. Leaking hydraulic fluid has sufficient pressure
to penetrate the skin and cause serious injury.
Leaks from tiny holes can be completely invisi-
ble. Never check for possible leaks with your bare
hands. Always use a piece of wood or cardboard.
We recommend the use of a face mask or eye
protection. If injuries occur due to leaking hydrau-
lic fluid, contact a doctor immediately. This liquid
can cause gangrene or severe allergic reactions.
8. Do not throw the battery away to prevent battery
fluid containing heavy metals from leaking out.
9. Observe all laws and regulations regarding the
disposal of used oil, coolants, solvents, hydraulic
fluids, battery acid and batteries.
10. To prevent fires, do not heat up the hydraulic com-
ponents (tanks, pipes, hoses, cylinders) until they
have been rinsed and washed.
11. Use a face mask or eye protection to protect the
eyes and respiratory tract from dust and other for-
eign bodies.
12. Do not crawl under the excavator if it is only sup-
ported by the boom and arm or the dozer blade.
The excavator can tip over or sink due to loss
of pressure in the hydraulics. Always use safety
struts or other suitable supports.
13. Do not use any parts that are lined with asbestos.
Do not use these types of parts even if they can
be installed.
