Storing the Machine
The machine may only stand on the rear wheels and front supporting legs when in
storage. The fertilizer tank must be empty.
ATTENTION: The machine must not be stored on the working units as such
storage would damage the working units.
Store the ends of the hydraulic hoses in the hose rack on the frame of the machine.
Thoroughly rinse the vehicle with water at the end of the season. When preparing the machine for
winter, make sure that there are no residues of water or fertilizer. Drain all fluids using the drain
valve. Disconnect the inlet hoses from the pump and let the water drain. Immediately rinse the
machine with water if contaminated with the application substance.
