Storing the machine
180
Preparation for winter
storage
The machine must be prepared for winter storage at the end of the
season .
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 method of working 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.

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.
Clean the machine.
Let the machine dry.
Paint any damaged paintwork.
Lubricate and oil all points once again to ensure conservation.
See section »Maintenance intervals« on page 183.
Coat blank parts such as piston rods of hydraulic cylinders with
preserving grease.

NDICATION
Only use grease that would not harden or dry. That will prevent
damage cylinder oil seals.
