Parking

of less than 36 hours. For longer periods, see Storage,
the next topic.
1.
Spot the drill on firm, level ground.
2.
Raise the drill. Install transport locks.

store inside for longer life, or cover with tarp.

tion” on page 114.

notes of any parts needing repair before the next

sure to completely de-grease before next use, to pre-
vent seal damage.
