30.2 Before the Start of the New Season
Before the start of the new harvest season, inspect the machine thoroughly.
Keeping the machine in a perfect technical condition will significantly reduce costly running
problems during harvest time.
If this was not already done after the last harvest, the machine must be thoroughly cleaned
inside and out.
• Refit any belts and V-belts which were removed and check belt tension.
• If engine openings were covered, remove the covers.
• Lubricate the machine completely according to the lubrication chart.
• Check that all bolts have been tightened and that all split pins are in place.
• Check all seals and the filling quantity of the cooling system. Antifreeze and anticorrosion
agent must remain in the cooling system even during summer months, since they protect
the system against corrosion.
• Check the charge state of the batteries; recharge the batteries if required.
• Check the tyre pressure, see chapter Description of machine, "Technical data of the
machine".
• After completing these tasks, let the machine run for about one hour at half speed. Then
check all bearings for overheating.
