| Treatment of battery if vehicle taken out of service | AR54.10-P-0006EA | ||
| Treatment of tire inflation pressure if vehicle taken out of service | For vehicles which will be stored for longer than 2 months, the tire inflation pressure should be increased to approx. 4 bar to prevent flattening of the contact surface. | ||
| Treatment of break system if vehicle taken out of service | Warm up service brake so that adhering moisture at the brake disks and the brake pads evaporates. This prevents the brake pad from becoming stuck to the brake disks. Release parking brake. The vehicle must be secured by engaging a gear/park pawl or by using wedges. |
||
| Treatment of fuel system if vehicle taken out of service | To protect the fuel tank from corrosion, we recommend that the vehicle fuel tank is completely filled. Then allow gasoline engines to run warm for 2-3 minutes. | ||
