Laying up
If the vehicle is not going to be in service for over 2 months,
for example for operational reasons, it must be placed in a
well-ventilated, clean and dry room and the following meas-
ures must be carried out.
- Clean the vehicle thoroughly.
- Check the hydraulic oil levels, topping up oil if neces-
sary
- Cover all blank mechanical components with a thin
film of oil or grease.
- Grease the vehicle.
- Check the condition and acid density of the battery;
cover the battery terminals with non-acidic grease.
(Observe the instructions of the battery manufacturer.)
- Remove the battery and store in a frost-free, dry
room.
Engine preservation
- Clean the engine.
- Run the engine warm.
- Drain the engine oil and refill with anti-corrosion oil.
- Drain the fuel and fill up the fuel tank with a mixture of
90 % diesel fuel and 10 % anti-corrosion oil. Mixing
ratio of diesel fuel 90 %, anti-corrosion oil 10 %.
- Run the engine for 10 minutes.
- Shut off the engine.
- Crank the engine a few times by hand.
- Seal the intake and exhaust openings.
ATTENTION
The vehicle must be blocked up so that all
the wheels are off the ground. This will pre-
vent a permanent deformation of the tires.
NOTE
Do not use plastic foil to cover the vehicle as
this enhances the formation and collection
of condensate water.
Putting the vehicle back in service after lay-up
If the vehicle was taken out of service for over six months,
it must be inspected carefully before being put back in serv-
ice. The inspection should, similar to the safety inspection,
also cover all safety relevant components of the vehicle.
- Clean the vehicle thoroughly.
- Grease the vehicle.
- Check the condition and acid density of the battery,
recharge it if necessary.
