unmount the mower from the tractor (reverse procedure as in case of attaching the mower to
the tractor item 5.1), and then drive the tractor away.
Mower should be stored in standstill position, so it is supported onto supporting leg and the
cutterbar. It is recommended to store the set on paved ground, preferably in roofed places,
inaccessible to unauthorized personnel or animals.
If the machine is stored for a long period of time before first operation, its technical condition
should be examined and special attention should be paid to the hydraulics and the drive. Paint the
area where the paint is missing, hydraulic hoses checked and lubricated.
Additionally:
remove any traces of rust and paint the area,
check the oil level in the angle drives and the cutterbar (Section 7). If leaks are discovered, they
should be repaired immediately and lost oil replaced. If water in oil is discovered, immediately
change the oil as it could cause corrosion of internal mechanisms such as gear wheels, bearings,
or shafts, and cause breakdowns,
periodically inspect the mower and lubricate moving parts in order to protect them from
corrosion which adversely affects the proper operation of the mower,
check hydraulic hoses regularly. Replace any damaged or old hoses. In any case, you should
replace hoses that have been in use more than 5 years from the date of their manufacture printed
on the hose.

In order to drain oil out of the cutterbar, firstly lift the mower up onto tractor's links and then
dismount the cutterbar closure as shown on
