OPERATION
5.8 STORAGE
After the season’s use, the machine should be thoroughly
inspected and prepared for storage. Repair or replace any
worn or damaged components to prevent any unnecessary
down time at the start of next season. To insure a long,
trouble free life, this procedure should be followed when
preparing the unit for storage.
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.
2. Thoroughly wash the entire machine using a pressure
washer to remove all dirt, mud, debris or residue.
3. Inspect the following components:
A. PTO Driveline Components
•
Check the condition and operation of the fric-
tion disc torque limiter (slip clutch).
•
Release slip clutch pressure.
•
Store in a dry place.
B. Electrical
System
•
Check the wiring harness and all wiring com-
ponents for damaged or worn areas.
•
Check for cracked or worn insulation.
• Replace any components that have come in
contact with moving parts and re-route to pre-
vent damage in the future.
C. Hydraulic Components:
•
Check all hydraulic lines for damage; replace
as required.
D. Air Reel Components
•
Air Tubes: repair or replace bent or damaged
air tubes.
• Plastic Tines: repair or replace bent or dam-
aged plastic tines.
•
Manifold Driveshaft Bearings: Driveshaft bear-
ings are sealed bearings and do not need
lubrication. If worn or damaged, replace as
required.
•
Idler Gears and Bearing Components, Pinion
Gears and Bearing Components and Internal
Gear sections: Check gears for wear; check
for worn or damaged bearings and replace as
required; adjust gears as required.
• Plastic Eccentric Rollers: check for uneven
wear; replace as required.
E. Right Hand Drive Components
•
Visually inspect fan rotor for wear or buildup.
•
Check condition of the rotary screen bearings.
4. Make a list of all parts needed for repairs and order
them immediately. Repairs can then be done when
time permits and prevent unnecessary down time at
the start of next season.
5. Lubricate all grease points to remove any water residue
from the washing and prevent rusting during the storage
period. Rotate all moving parts to distribute lubricant
to all surfaces.
6. Apply a light coat of grease on the shafts.
7. Check the cutterbar, reel area and drives for entangled
material.
8. Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to prevent rust-
ing.
9. Move the machine to its storage area.
10. Select an area that is dry, level, and free of debris.
11. If the machine cannot be stored inside, cover with a
waterproof tarpaulin and tie securely in place.
12. Store out of the way of human activity.
13. Do not allow children to play on or around stored unit.
REMOVING FROM STORAGE
When removing from storage and preparing to use, follow
this procedure:
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.
2. Remove the tarpaulin from the machine if it was cov-
ered.
3. Clean off accumulated trash and dirt.
4. Check routing and securing of all hydraulic lines and
wiring harness; adjust as required.
5. Rotate all components and systems by hand to see that
none are seized. Loosen any seized components with
penetrating oil before starting.
6. Retighten any loose bolts to their specified torque.
7. Lubricate all grease points and shaft surfaces.
8. Check for excessive wear on all moving parts.
9. Tighten all hydraulic connections and mounts; replace
o-rings, fittings, or connectors subject to leaking.
10. Review and follow all items in the Pre-Operaton and
Machine Break-In sections before starting (Sections
5.2 & 5.3).
11. Install all safety shields and review precautions with
operators and other personnel involved in the operation.
12. Drain and refill gearbox.
