10. TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE OF THE MACHINE
The total mass of the machine is listed in the table in chapter IV. The press can be moved and
transported only when it is not attached to the energy source and when it is empty. The press can be
easily moved by two adults. After use the machine should be cleaned. As it dries, store it in a dry and
airy room, where no fertilizer is being stored. Possible dirt on the machine may cause the moisture to
accumulate over some period of time.
After the finished pressing season prepare the press for a longer storage. Make sure that the
membrane is in its original position, not under pressure. This will significantly prolong its life
span.
Store the machine on a level floor so that the machine stands firmly and there is no
danger of falling on anyone who may walk by (uninvited guests, children, pets)!
