7 - MAINTENANCE
End of season service
When the season is over, prepare the implement for the
storage immediately.
To prepare the implement for winter storage:
1. Clean the implement thoroughly. Dust and dirt absorb
moisture and moisture increases the formation of rust.
2. Store the implement in a dry place, protected against
wind and weather in the best possible way.
3. Grease all grease fittings according to the “Mainte-
nance chart”.
4. Before the storage of the implement, check carefully
for damaged parts, loose screw-joints, leakage, wear
and other defects. If there is any damage, it may be
forgotten during the storage and result in problems the
following season. Note down the necessary parts you
will need before the next season and order the spare
parts.
5. Disconnect the Power Take-Off (PTO) shafts, lubricate
the profile tubes and keep them in a dry place.
6. Spray the implement with a coat of rust-preventing oil.
7. Parts polished and the cylinder rods of the hydraulic
cylinder may get rusty. Clean and brush with grease
parts polished and the cylinder rods to protect against
wind and weather.
8. Change the oil in the hydraulic system and the gear-
boxes.
9. Support the implement to relieve the weight from the
tires. Leave tires inflated. Tire and rubber components
life will be extended if protected from sunlight during
storage.
NOTE: Periodic checks will help to keep your implement
maintenance and repairs to a minimum and avoid costly
breakdowns during the season. Therefore, it is good prac-
tice to have the implement inspected at the end of the sea-
son.
