5.7 STORAGE
After completing work the tedder should be carefully cleaned and washed with water jet.
While washing do not direct a strong water or steam jet at information and warning decals or
bearings. Nozzle of pressure or steam washer should be kept at a distance of not less than
30 cm from cleaned surface.
After cleaning tedder inspect the whole machine, inspect technical condition of individual
elements. Used or damaged elements should be repaired or replaced.
In the event of damage to the paint coat, clean rust and dust from damaged area, degrease
and then paint with undercoat and after it is dry paint with surface coat paint retaining colour
uniformity and even thickness of protective coating. Until the time of touch-up painting, the
damaged place may be covered with a thin layer of grease or anticorrosion preparation.
Tedder should be kept in closed or roofed building.
DANGER
The tedder should only be stored with the side rotor modules unfolded to working
position (to prevent danger of tipping over).
If the tedder will not be used for a long time, it is essential to protect it from adverse weather,
especially rust and accelerated tyre deterioration. Cylinder pistons should be cleaned and
conserved with grease.
Lubricate tedder according to the instructions provided. In the event of a prolonged work
stoppage, it is essential to lubricate all components regardless of the date of the last
lubrication. Additionally before the winter period apply grease to hitching system pins.
Tyres should undergo conservation maintenance at least twice a year using the appropriate
preparations designed for this purpose. Complete wheels and tyres should be previously
carefully washed and dried. During longer storage of unused tedder it is recommended that
every 2 to 3 weeks the machine may be moved a bit so that the place of contact of tyres with
ground is changed. The tyres will not be deformed and maintain proper geometry. Also tyre
pressure should be inspected from time to time, and if necessary pressure should be
increased to appropriate value.
