STORAGE
Should the machine be stored for an extended period of time, it should be thoroughly inspected and
prepared for storage. Repair or replace any worn or damaged components to prevent any unnecessary
down time the next time the machine is to be used.
Recommended procedure:
1. Wash the entire machine thoroughly using a water hose or pressure washer to remove all dirt, mud,
debris, or residue.
2. Inspect all drives and moving parts. Remove any string, twine, or other material that has become
entangled in the auger knives, axles, hubs, or shafts. Be sure the components are clean and move
freely.
3. Inspect all hydraulic hoses, fittings, lines, and valves. Tighten any loose fittings. Replace any hose
that is cut, nicked, abraded, or separating from the crimped fitting.
4. Inspect auger and knives for damaged or broken components. Repair or replace components as
required.
5. Lubricate all grease points. Make sure all grease cavities have been filled with grease to remove
any water residue left from washing.
6. Apply grease to the exposed cylinder rams. This includes the discharge door cylinder and the
conveyor slide cylinder.
7. Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to prevent rusting.
8. Move the machine to its storage position.
•
Select an area that is dry, level, and free of debris.
9. Block the wheels on the machine.
10. If the machine is not to be used for an extended period, consider removing the scale indicator from
the machine and place in a clean and dry environment. Use the original packaging if available.
Place all weigh bars and power cords so that they will not be exposed to weathering and/or damage.
DANGER:
Before removing material, always place controls in neutral, stop engine, set park brake,
remove ignition key and wait for all moving parts to stop before removing material. Failure to follow
these safety precautions can result in serious injury or death.
