Preparing for Storage
• To insure longer life and satisfactory operation,
store the implement in a shed.
• If building storage is impossible, store away from
areas of main activity on firm, dry ground.
• Clean machine thoroughly.
• Inspect all parts for wear or damage.
• Avoid delays - if parts are required, order at the end
of the season.
• Lubricate grease fittings. (Refer to Maintenance
Section).
• Tighten all bolts to proper specifications (Refer to
Maintenance Section).
• To prevent corrosion and damage by rodents, clean
the hopper boxes and metering systems thoroughly
and wash with mild soapy water solution. Rinse with
water and dry thoroughly (Refer to Metering Body
Storage).
• A light coating of silicone lubricant or WD-40 or
penetrating oil should be applied to all metal metering
system components before storage.
• Avoid lubricant contact with grain and fertilizer hoses
and tubes.
• Relieve tension on tank lids.
• Loosen clean-out doors.
• Remove all chains and store in clean oil.
• For a safer storage, lower the implement into field
position and release the hydraulic pressure.
• If implement must be stored in a raised position,
ensure that wings are properly secured with lock
pins.
• Level implement using hitch jack and block up.
• Relieve pressure from hydraulic system.
• Cover tires with canvas to protect them from the
elements when stored outside.
