9. STORAGE (WINTER STORAGE)
When the season is over, the preparation for winter storage should be made
immediately after. First, clean the machine thoroughly. Dust and dirt absorb moisture
and moisture increases the formation of rust.
CAUTION: Be careful when cleaning with a high pressure cleaner. Never
spray directly on the bearings and grease all grease points
carefully after cleaning so that possible water is pressed out of
the bearings.
IMPORTANT: Grease all grease points after cleaning the machine.
The following points are instructions how to prepare for winter storage.
• Check the machine for wear and other defects – note down the necessary parts
you will need before the next season and order the spare parts.
• Dismount the PTO drive shafts, lubricate the profile tubes and keep them in a
dry place.
• Spray the machine with a thin coat of rust-preventing oil. This is especially
important on the parts polished with use.
• Change the oil in the gearboxes.
• Store the machine in a ventilated engine house.
• Lay up the machine to unload the tyres.
