Long-Term Storage
PRESERVATION
1. Clean and touch up damaged paint surfaces.
2. Fill the hydraulic tank to operating level with the
platform fully lowered. Fluid should be visible
on the tank dip stick.
3. Coat exposed portions of cylinder rods with a
preservative such as multipurpose grease and
wrap with barrier material.
4. Coat all exposed unpainted metal surfaces with
a light oil or other preservative.
5. Cover the machine with tarpaulin if possible. If
this is not available it is advisable to cover the
mast and jib mount area as a minimum. This will
prevent moisture from entering the mast, battery
and chassis areas.
AFTER USE EACH DAY
1. Ensure that the platform (masts and jib) are
fully lowered.
2. Park the machine on firm and level ground,
never on a grass surface.
3. Turn the key switch to the OFF position and
remove.
4. Put the batteries on charge.
BATTERIES
1. Disconnect the batteries at the quick connect
plug and socket. This is located in the chassis
between the controller and the hydraulic tank.
2. Disconnect the battery leads and tape up the
lead terminals to ensure insulation.
3. Better battery life and efficiency is achieved if
the batteries are used consistently. It is therefore
recommended that the batteries are used
elsewhere if the machine is to be unused for an
extended period ( 2 weeks or more).
WARNING
RISK of SERIOUS INJURY.
Take particular care when handling batteries. Acid
spills can cause severe burns or blindness. DO NOT
store batteries close to naked flames or close to steel
fabrication areas.
