WINTER STORAGE
When the season is over, the preparation for winter storage should be made
immediately after. First, clean the machine thoroughly. Dust and dirt absorb moisture
and moisture increases the formation of rust. Be careful when cleaning with a high
pressure cleaner. Never spray directly on the bearings and grease all nipples
carefully before and after cleaning so that possible water is pressed out of the
bearings.
The following points are instructions how to prepare for winter storage.

Check the machine for wear and other defects. Note down the wearing parts
needed before the next season and order the spare parts.

Dismount the PTO drive shafts, lubricate the profile tubes and keep them in a dry
place.

Spray the machine with a coat of rust-preventing oil. This is especially important
on the parts polished with use and the hydraulic cylinder piston rods.

Change the oil in the cutter bar and the gearboxes.

Store the machine in a ventilated engine house.
