OPERATION
5.9 SToRaGe
After the season’s use, the machine should be thoroughly in-
spected and prepared for storage. Repair or replace any worn or
damaged components to prevent any unnecessary down time
at the start of next season. To ensure a long, trouble free life,
this procedure should be followed when preparing the unit for
storage.
Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.
1.
Thoroughly wash the entire machine using a pressure washer
2.
to remove all dirt, mud, debris or residue.
Inspect the following components:
3.
PTO Driveline Components
A.
Check the condition and operation of the
•
friction disc torque limiter (slip clutch).
Release slip clutch pressure.
•
Store in a dry place.
•
Electrical System
B.
Check the wiring harness and all wiring
•
components for damaged or worn areas.
Check for cracked or worn insulation.
•
Replace any components that have come
•
in contact with moving parts and re-route
to prevent damage in the future.
Hydraulic Components:
C.
Check all hydraulic lines for damage;
•
replace as required.
Air Reel Components
D.
Air Tubes: repair or replace bent or dam-
•
aged air tubes.
Plastic Tines: repair or replace bent or
•
damaged plastic tines.
Manifold Drive Shaft Bearings: Drive shaft
•
bearings are sealed bearings and do not
need lubrication. If worn or damaged,
replace as required.
Idler Gears and Bearing Components,
•
Pinion Gears and Bearing Components
and Internal Gear sections: Check gears
for wear; check for worn or damaged
bearings and replace as required; adjust
gears as required.
Plastic Eccentric Rollers: check for un
-
•
even wear; replace as required.
Right Hand Drive Components
E.
Visually inspect fan rotor for wear or
•
buildup.
Check condition of the rotary screen
•
bearings.
Make a list of all parts needed for repairs and order them
4.
immediately. Repairs can then be done when time permits
and prevent unnecessary down time at the start of next
season.
Lubricate all grease points to remove any water residue
5.
from the washing and prevent rusting during the storage
period. Rotate all moving parts to distribute lubricant to all
surfaces.
Apply a light coat of grease on the shafts.
6.
Check the cutterbar, reel area and drives for entangled
7.
material.
Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to prevent rusting.
8.
Move the machine to its storage area.
9.
Select an area that is dry, level, and free of debris.
