Placing in storage
1. Raise the implement, place jack stand in the transport
mode.
2. Move the Bin Trailer to a storage area with a firm and
level base to prevent it from tipping or sinking into the
ground. Always store the Bin Trailer in a dry,
protected location. Leaving this implement
unprotected will shorten the service life.
Removing From Storage
Each season, perform the following inspection and
maintenance before using the unit.
1. Read the operator’s manual to review all safety,
operational, and maintenance procedures.
2. Perform any recommended maintenance that was not
completed when the implement was put into storage.
3. Visually inspect the implement for wear or damage.
4. Check the tire pressure and set to the tire
manufacturer’s recommended specification. Inspect
the tires for wear and/or damage.
5. Inspect all rollers for signs of wear or damage.
6. Make sure all the warning decals are in place and
legible. Replace any damaged or missing decals.
7. Hitch the implement to a tractor/pulling vehicle. Refer
to “Attaching to Pulling Vehicle” on page 16.
Storage Preparation
After Bin Trailer field work is completed for a season,
perform the following maintenance procedures before
storing the implement.
1. Check all bolted connections. Ensure that the
fasteners are tight, and all retaining pins are secured
in place with appropriate retaining clips.
2. Check the tire pressure and set to the tire
manufacturer’s recommended specification. Inspect
the tires for wear and/or damage. Make sure the
wheel lugs are properly tightened. Refer to “Tire and
Lug Torque Specifications” on page 12.
3. Inspect the frame for structure fractures and inspect
rollers for wear or damage.
4. Check hubs for signs of seal damage or excessive
wear.
5. Make sure all the warning decals are in place and
legible. Replace any worn decals as needed.
6. Remove debris and clean the entire implement with
compressed air or low pressure water.
7. Lubricate all grease fittings on the frame members
with a good general purpose lithium grease. Refer to
“Lubrication Points” on page 18 for the location of the
fittings.
8. Add grease to the fittings on the transport wheel
bearing hubs with a good quality wheel bearing
grease. Fill each cavity just until resistance is felt. Do
not force grease past the seals.
9. To help prevent corrosion, remove rust and apply a
coat of paint to frame surfaces where paint has been
worn off or damaged.
STORAGE
3. Unhitch the implement from the pulling vehicle. Refer
to “Detaching From Pulling Vehicle” on page 19.
4. Do not leave the tractor attached to the implement
while in storage.
