MAINTENANCE
•
The recommendation is to complete a routine check of the FeedStorm at regular
intervals, after initial installation at the cautious discretion of the operator. The
recommendation hereafter is to complete a routine check every day / 12 hours of
operation.
o
A routine check includes:
1.
Inspect FeedStorm bracketry. Ensure no stressed components.
Ensure all components are appropriately fastened.
2.
Inspect all FeedStorm electrical cables and hydraulic hoses, for their
condition and fastening. Ensure no abrasive wear is occurring and the
lines are fastened at regular intervals.
•
Grease all four lubrication points as required via the grease nipples, using high
temperature resistant grease.
o
The Bearing of Parts 1A and 2A; two grease points.
o
The Universal Joints, Part 7; two grease points.
•
Grease the Universal Joint
s’, Part 7,
splines annually.
STORAGE
•
When the header front is not in use, fully retract the actuators so minimal shaft
length is exposed to the surrounding environment. This will assist optimum function
and longevity of the actuators.
•
Storage of the header front in a protected location from the elements is
recommended for the preservation of the FeedStorm.
•
If the header front cannot be stored as recommended and is exposed to wet
weather for a duration of time outside of harvest season, such as in a dealers
hip’s
yard throughout winter, remove the electrical components from the front. If the
actuators are to be left on the front, ensure they are fully sealed at electrical joins
and are further protected with waterproof coverings.
•
DO NOT
clean the electrical components with a liquid composition. The electrical
components are water resistant, not waterproof. Recommend using compressed air
as an alternative to clean the electrical components.
