clean carefully the rear deflector inner part. Inject
water into the rear left and right deflectors
through the special openings.

ary) and get on the tractor; lift the right hopper by
about 50 cm, to clear the extractor suction hood.

the harvesting equipment platform to wash the
extractor inner part, washing them one after the
other, at intervals of 7 seconds.

off the water supply, climb onto the driver’s seat
and stop the harvesting functions (extractors,
conveyors and norias).

tions of the extractor slides opening the
suitable covers, after making sure that
the stalk choppers are completely

fully, stop the thermal engine and engage the
hand brake.

spection doors, the plates, etc... which were opened
during the washing operations.
