10.9 Shutting down and restarting the loader

The specified measures refer to shutting down and re-starting the loader over longer periods of time.

NOTE

Follow the operating manual for the engine.

Shutting down the loader

1. Park the loader as described in the chapter „Securing the loader“. 2. Block the articulated joint. 3. Jack the loader so that the tyres no longer touch the ground. 4. release the parking brake. 5. Lower the lift frame as far as it will go. 6. carry out the task „discharging residual pressure in the hydraulic system“ and put the control lever in 0 position. 7. Spray bare metal parts of the loader (e.g. the piston rods of the hydraulic cylinders if they are not retracted) with an anti-corrosion agent. 8. Preserve the engine. Preserving the engine

1. clean the engine in a suitable place using a high-pressure cleaner. 2. Bring the engine to operating temperature. 3. drain the engine oil and dispose of it in an ecologically sound manner. 4. Pour anti-corrosion oil into the engine. 5. drain the fuel from the tank. 6. Produce a mixture of 90% fuel and 10% anti-corrosion oil and pour it into the fuel tank. 7. Let the engine idle for 10 minutes before turning it off. 8. To preserve the cylinders and combustion chamber, crank the engine by hand several times. 9. remove the fan belt and pack it for storage so that it is airtight and light-proof. 10.Spray the belt pulley contact surface with anti-corrosion agent. 11.close the intake and exhaust opening of the engine.

Storing the battery

1. remove the battery. 2. clean the battery. 3. charge the battery. 4. Store the battery in a dry, well-ventilated room at approx. 20°c. 5. check the acid level once a month. 6. recharge the battery before installing it again.

restarting the loader

1. remove the engine preservative. 2. Install the battery. 3. check the air pressure of the tyres. 4. remove the preservative for the hydraulic cylinders‘ piston rods. 5. Lower the loader. 6. check the functioning of the electrical system. 7. unblock the articulated joint. 8. vent the hydraulic system. 9. check the functioning of the steering and the brakes. remove preservatives from the engine

1. remove the closures from the intake and exhaust opening of the engine. 2. remove the anti-corrosion agent from the pulley. 3. Install the fan belt. 4. drain the preservative oil and pour in engine oil. 5. Start up the engine. 6. check the V- belt tension after the first two operating hours.
