Storage Preparation
After work is completed for a season, perform the
following maintenance procedures before storing the
implement.
1. Apply a thin layer of grease or rust preventative to all
exposed metal surfaces of the adjustable
mechanisms (threaded rods, etc.).
2. Check all bolted connections. Ensure that the
fasteners are tight, and all retaining pins are secured
in place with appropriate retaining clips.
3. Inspect the frame for structural fractures.
4. Make sure all the warning decals are in place and
legible. Replace any worn decals as needed.
5. Thoroughly wash the implement with a pressure
washer or water hose to remove all dirt, mud, or
debris.
6. Drain water from the roller tube (if applicable).
7. Lubricate the grease fittings with a good general
purpose lithium grease. Refer to “Lubrication Points”
on page 17 for the location of the fittings.
8. To help prevent corrosion, remove rust and apply a
coat of paint to frame surfaces where paint has been
worn off or damaged.
9. Make sure the implement is stored in an area with a
firm and level base to prevent it from tipping or
sinking into the ground. For best results, always
store the Hydraulic Transport Kit in a dry, protected
location. Leaving this implement unprotected will
shorten the service life.
Placing In Storage
1. Select an area that is dry, level, and free of debris
(inside a building is ideal). Move the Hydraulic
Transport Kit to its storage area.
2. Disconnect the Hydraulic Transport Kit from the tractor
and drive the tractor away from the implement. Do not
leave the tractor attached to the Hydraulic Transport Kit.
Removing From Storage
Prior to use each season, perform the following
inspection and maintenance.
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. Make sure all the warning decals are in place and
legible. Replace any damaged or missing decals.
5. Attach the Hydraulic Transport Kit to the tractor. Refer to
“Attaching to Tractor” on page 16.
