10.1 End of season
Before disconnecting the mower from the tractor, always ensure the mower
bed is first lowered to the ground for stability.
Carefully clean all machine sections, inside and out. Dirt and foreign objects are
likely to draw moisture and cause rusting of steel components.
McHale
recommend that the machine be blown down with an air line, as opposed to a
pressure washer, due to the dangers involved with pressure washing and to
protect the overall paint work on the machine. If, despite our advice, a pressure
washer is used then take extreme caution and operate from ground level only. Do
not point pressurized water at or near electrical components, pivots points, valves
or bearings. Never climb onto any part of the machine, while pressure washing,
due to the fact that all metal surfaces become extremely wet and slippery and
always ensure that the tractor has been shut down, with the ignition key removed.
Grease the discs/blades & conditioner tines to prevent rusting, use extreme
caution when carrying out this operation, always wear protective clothing and
gloves!
Lubricate all pivot points and apply a thin layer of grease to all adjustment bolt
threads and exposed ram rods.
Any components from which paint has become worn should be touched up or
coated with grease to prevent rusting.
Remove all dirt from the disc mower bed and blow dry using compressed air
and apply grease to prevent rusting.
Apply grease to all bearings, ram-pivots, and PTO shaft.
