Machine Storage
Follow the following sections for guidance to correctly storing Trisaw/Quadsaw machines out of working use and
preparing back into correct working condition.
5.5.1
Preparing The Machine For Storage & Reintroduction Into Work
Following seasonal use it is important to prepare the machine for storage, thinking of the preservation of parts
condition and ease of reintroduction when bringing the machine back into work after periods of no use.
Follow the following points:
Thoroughly wash the machine removing all traces of grass and dirt.
Great care should be taken when using pressure washers.
Do not
hold the pressure
washer lance close to the paintwork and items containing seals as this can cause
damage and discolouration.
Spearhead does not recommend using steam cleaners.
Liberally place oil on each of the blades to prevent corrosion.
Tighten all fasteners to the recommended torque.
Plug all open ended hydraulic hoses to keep the ends free of contamination and dirt.
Use touch up paint available from Spearhead where necessary to preserve the
appearance of the machine.
Ideally store the machine in the dry indoors, on a firm surface or a on a pallet, away
from the elements. This will greatly preserve the machines physical appearance and
condition.
It is also best practice to inspect the machine for worn/damaged items which will be required
to be replaced before entering work again in the new season. Consult the maintenance
schedule for the machine (Section 5.4) as well as other specific maintenance task sections to
see what could be required to be done to the machine.
Ordering replacement parts at the beginning of this period with plenty of time will potentially
reduce the delays of reintroduction into work with out of stock items. Many other local
operators will be carrying out the same procedure at the same time.

– Prepare For Storage
Where parts are broken, damaged and deemed not fit for use; replace with genuine Spearhead parts using the
online Dealer Inside facility at
http://dealerinside.spearheadmachinery.com/partsmanuals/manual.aspx
You will require the machine serial number. Assistance to its location can be found in Section 1.4.
Spearhead sawblade machines are designed to withstand the most rigorous conditions and with a little care and
attention will give many years of trouble free service. So as not to invalidate the warranty and to avoid problem,
use only genuine Spearhead parts and make sure the machine is not driven at excess speed (3 mph/5 kmh).
