Storing the machine

Cleaning
If the machine is being put away for a short or longer period of time it
is recommended that you lubricate and clean it first. If it is lubricated
first you will prevent dirt, fertiliser and water from entering the
bearings.
The advantages of this working order are:
•
additional checks on the machine right after work,
•
ensuring the longevity of the machine,
•
less downtime due to problems while working with the machine.

NDICATION
When using a high-pressure cleaner, do not aim it at the seals and the
breathers. That way you will prevent dirt and moisture from entering
the gearboxes. Furthermore, do not set up electrical components.
Water can cause electrical failures.
