PREPARATIONS FOR STORAGE
1. When preparing the Allmand TLB for storage, first remove floor plate and steering column
cover. Wash off all dirt and grease from all the major components and connecting hoses.
Coat the exposed cylinder rods with grease and grease all the grease fittings.
2. IMPORTANT: When washing the Allmand TLB, allow engine and hydraulic system to
cool before washing. Cold water on a hot engine or hydrostatic pump can cause costly
damage. DO NOT direct the stream of water, when washing, directly at the hydraulic
system breather, it is possible to get water into the hydraulic system and contaminate the
fluid.
3. Make sure the battery is fully charged, battery terminals are clean and have a corrosion
protectant applied.
4. Change the engine oil and run for 5 minutes to allow the oil to penetrate to all the parts.
5. Drain the fuel system, fuel tank, fuel pump, and carburetor, or add a fuel stablilizer to pre-
vent gasoline from gumming up the fuel system during storage.
6. Place the Allmand TLB in a clean, dry place and cover if at all possible.
