Cleaning and caring

Cleaning and caring

Safety

For all cleaning and caring activities applies:

Do not penetrate bearings and hydraulic parts

Be careful when cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner. Bearings,
sealings and bolted joints are not waterproof. To avoid machine
damages never penetrate bearings, sealings and bolted joints with
water.

Do not clean bearings, electronic and hydraulic parts with high 
pressure

Do not clean bearings, electronic and hydraulic parts with a high-
pressure cleaner. Bright metal parts will get degreased and start
rusting. After every cleaning grease the bearings and grease bright
metal parts.

Cleaning

After every time of using the machine:
> clean the machine of all accumulated crop
Cleaning can be done with the high-pressure cleaner. Do not clean
bearings, electronic and hydraulic parts while cleaning with the high-
pressure cleaner.

After cleaning

After cleaning with the high-pressure cleaner
> grease all bearings
> clean the space between drums and skid discs

Caring

When you observe the rules below, you will have a fully operational
machine at the start of the next season:
> Protect all bright metal parts with an oil film. Only use authorized 

biological oil, like rape oil

> Repaint any paint damages
