4.10 STORAGE
Storage Safety
1. Store unit in area away from human activity.
2. Do not permit children to play on or around the stored machine.
3. Store the unit in a dry, level area. Support the base/jack with planks if
required.
At the end of the season, the machine should be thoroughly inspected and prepared
for storage. Repair or replace any worn or damaged components to prevent any
unnecessary down time at the start of the next season.
Follow this procedure:
1. Wash the entire machine thoroughly using a water hose or pressure washer to
remove all dirt, mud, debris or residue.
2. Inspect all drives and moving parts. Remove any string, twine or other material that
has become entangled in the rotor, flails, cradle components or shafts. Be sure all
components are clean and can move freely.
3. Inspect all hydraulic hoses, fittings, lines, couplers and valves. Tighten any loose
fittings. Replace any hose that is badly cut, nicked or abraded or is separating from the
crimped end of the fitting.
4. Inspect rotor and flails for damaged or broken components. Repair or replace
components as required.
5. Lubricate all grease points. Make sure all grease cavities have been filled with
grease to remove any water residue from the washing.
6. Raise lift arms to their fully up position and install lock pin.
7. Apply "never seize" or grease to PTO input shaft and cylinder rams.
8. Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to prevent rusting.
9. Move the machine to its storage location.
10. Select an area that is dry, level and free of debris.
11. Place planks under the jack for added support if required.
12. Unhook the machine from the tractor (Refer to Section 4.7)
13. Cover the machine with a tarpaulin if the machine is not stored inside.
