killed.
• To avoid accidents, the basic safety instructions in the chapter Safety must have been
read and followed, see chapter Safety "Basic safety instructions".
WARNING!
If the safety routines are not adhered to, people may be seriously injured or killed.
• To avoid accidents, the safety routines in the chapter Safety must be read and followed,
see chapter Safety "Safety routines".
Placing the machine in storage at the end of the harvest season is the best possible way to
preserve the machine.
• Park the machine in a dry spot protected from the weather and at a distance from corrosive
substances.
• Support the machine on blocks so that the total weight is not resting on the wheels.
• Protect the tyres against external influences such as oil, grease or direct sunlight.
• Thoroughly clean the machine.
Chaff and dirt attract moisture which causes steel parts to start rusting.
Damage to the machine caused by water from a high-pressure washing device!
If the water jet from a high-pressure cleaner is aimed directly at bearings and
electrical/electronic components, these components may be damaged.
• Do not aim the water jet from a high-pressure cleaner at bearings or electrical/electronic
components.
• Lubricate the machine according to the lubrication chart. Do not wipe off any grease leaking
from the bearing positions because the ring of grease offers additional protection against
moisture.
• Grease the threads of setting screws and similar items.
• Release the springs.
• Lower the intake as far as possible.
• Remove the kraftband of the corn conditioner.
• Disassemble the universal shaft. Lubricate the inner tubes with grease.
• Lubricate the grease nipples at the universal joint of the universal shaft and at the bearing
rings of the guard tubes; lubricate the universal shaft.
NOTE
Follow the operating instructions of the universal shaft manufacturer.
• Protect the machine, including the lubrication points "Maintenance – every 1000 hours",
after the harvest by injecting lubricant.
To distribute the grease evenly, subsequently run the machine until a small collar of grease
forms on the outside of the bearings.
• Lubricate the bearing positions before and after using a high-pressure cleaner to clean the
machine.
• If the corn conditioner is installed, remove the corn conditioner, clean it thoroughly and coat
with grease or a preservative to protect it against corrosion. Subsequently re-install the corn
