When storing the Seed Series Conveyors for long periods of time, the following
procedure must be followed to reduce the chance of rust, corrosion and fatigue of the
conveyor. You can also use these steps when storing the machine for the winter.
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.
2. Thoroughly wash the entire machine to remove all dirt, mud, debris or residue.
3. Inspect all moving or rotating parts to see if anything has become entangled in
them. Remove the entangled material.
4. Lubricate all grease fittings. Make sure that all grease cavities have been filled with
grease to remove any water residue from the washing. This also protects the
bearing seals.
5. Remove drive assembly cover. Clean entire area and ensure drive belt and chain
are clean and free of debris. Lubricate drive chain.
6. Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to prevent rusting.
7. Move to storage area.
8. Select an area that is dry, level and free of debris.
9. Unhook from towing vehicle.
10. Place blocks under the intake or the jack if required.
11. If the machine cannot be placed inside, cover the electric motor with a water proof
tarpaulin and tie securely in place.
12. Store machine in an area away from human activity.
13. Do not allow children to play on or around the stored machine.
A dust mask and protective rubber gloves shall be used when
cleaning the machine.
