Storage
Storage Safety
•
Shut off the machine, remove the key, wait for all
moving parts to stop, and allow the machine to
cool before storing it.
•
Do not store the machine near flames.
Storing the Machine
1.
Park the machine on a level surface and lower
the loader arms.
2.
Shut off the machine and remove the key.
3.
Remove dirt and grime from the external parts
of the entire machine.
Important:
Wash the machine using mild
detergent and water. Avoid excessive use
of water, especially near the control panel,
hydraulic pumps, and motors.
4.
Grease the machine; refer to
Machine (page
29).
5.
Torque the wheel lug nuts; refer to
Wheel-Lug Nuts (page
6.
Check the hydraulic fluid level; refer to
the Hydraulic-Fluid Level (page
7.
Check and tighten all fasteners. Repair or
replace any worn, damaged, or missing parts.
8.
Paint all scratched or bare metal surfaces with
paint available from your Authorized Service
Dealer.
9.
Store the machine in a clean, dry garage or
storage area. Remove the key from the key
switch and keep it in a memorable place.
10.
For prolonged storage, follow the battery
storage requirements; refer to

Battery Storage
Requirements
Note:
You do not need to remove the batteries from
the machine for storage.
Refer to the temperature limits for storage in the
following table:
Temperature Limits for Storage
Storage Temperature
45° to 55°C (113° to 131°F)
25° to 45°C (77° to 113°F)
-20° to 25°C (-4° to 77°F)
Important:
Temperatures outside of these ranges
will damage your batteries.
The temperature that the batteries are stored
at will affect their long-term life. Storage for
long periods of time at extreme temperatures
will reduce the battery life. For temperatures
above 25°C (77°F), only store the machine for the
appropriate amount of time indicated in the table.
•
Before you store the machine, charge or discharge
the batteries between 40% to 60% (54.3V to
57.3V).
Note:
A 50% charge is optimal to ensure a
maximum battery life. When the batteries are
charged to 100% before storage, the battery life
shortens.
If you anticipate that the machine will be stored
for a longer period of time, charge the batteries
to around 60%.
•
For every 6 months of storage, check the
battery-charge level and ensure that it is between
40% to 60%. If the charge is below 40%, charge
the batteries between 40% to 60%.
•
You can use a multimeter to check the charge level
when the machine is off. Refer to the following
table for the amount of voltage that is equal to the
charge level:
Voltage
57.3V
55.4V
54.3V
•
After charging the batteries, disconnect the
battery charger plug from power during storage to
minimize the discharging of the batteries.
•
If you leave the charger plug connected to power,
it will shut off after the batteries are fully charged
and does not turn back on unless the charger plug
is disconnected and reconnected.
