Rotary cutter storage
• Clean the cardan shaft every 15 days or before, if necessary.
• Remove the protection covers.
• Separate "male" and "female", wash to remove crusts and dry them. Then, lubricate
the moving parts with grease and assemble again.
Before storing the cutter, we recommend some precautions to preserve its properly
functioning and to let it ready for the next job.
• Remove all the residues that remain in the equipment after its use, such as grass,
dirt, culture debris and others.
• Wash the whole equipment to remove the dirty grease and the earth that accumulates
in the corners.
• Repair the missing painting if required.
• Clean and lubricate all the grease fittings until the fresh grease can be seen.
• Check the oil level of the gearbox.
• Spray the equipment with penetrating or anti-corrosive oil.
• Check the blades, apply a layer of paint and protect them with protective oil. If
necessary, replace blades that are bent, excessively nicked or have any other
damage.
• Replace the missing or damaged safety decals. Marchesan can provide these decals
under request just being necessary to inform their serial numbers. The operator must
know the need to keep each decal in good condition and on its proper place. The
operator also have to know that the lack of safety may be harmful and the higher
chance of an accident if the instructions are not being followed.
• Keep the equipment in a sheltered and dry place, protected from direct sunlight and
rain, properly supported on the ground or trestles.
