GENERAL INFORMATION
The following storage procedure will help you to keep your rotary cutter in
top condition. It will also help you get off to a good start the next time your cutter
is needed. We therefore strongly recommend that you take the extra time to
follow these procedures whenever your unit will not be used for an extended
period of time.
PREPARATION FOR STORAGE
1. Clean the unit thoroughly, removing all mud, dirt, and grease.
2. Sharpen or replace blades. Replace all blades at the same time and do
not try to weld or straighten damaged blades; loss of integrity may result.
3. Inspect for visible signs of wear, breakage, or damage. Order any parts
required, and make the necessary repairs to avoid delays when starting next
season. NOTE: Purchase only approved replacement parts from your
authorized BRADCO dealer.
4. Tighten all loose nuts, capscrews, and hydraulic connections.
5. Check the gear box for proper lubricant level.
6. Connect the hydraulic couplers together to protect the hydraulic system
from contaminates.
7. Touch up all unpainted and exposed areas with paint, to prevent rust.
8. Replace decals if damaged, or in unreadable condition.
9. Apply a rust-preventive spray to all moving parts and to the bottom of the
deck.
10. Store the unit in a dry and protected place. Leaving the unit outside will
materially shorten its life.
REMOVING FROM STORAGE
1. Remove all protective coverings.
2. Check hydraulic hoses for deterioration, and replace if necessary.
3. Check all nuts and bolts for proper tightness, especially those securing
the motor, gearbox and blades.
