Carefully clean all machine sections, inside and out. Dirt and foreign objects
are likely to draw moisture and cause rusting of steel components. McHale
recommend that the machine be blown down with an air line, as opposed to a
pressure washer, due to the dangers involved with pressure washing and to
protect the overall paint work on the machine. If, despite our advice, a
pressure washer is used then take extreme caution and operate from ground
level only. Do not point pressurized water at or near electrical components,
pivots points, valves or bearings. Never climb onto any part of the machine,
while pressure washing, due to the fact that all metal surfaces become
extremely wet and slippery and always ensure that the tractor has been shut
down, with the ignition key removed.
Remove the control box from the tractor and store in a dry, safe environment.
Grease the beater and rotor knives to prevent rusting, use extreme caution
when carrying out this operation, always wear protective clothing and gloves!
Lubricate all pivot points and apply a thin layer of grease to all adjustment bolt
threads and exposed ram rods.
Any components from which paint has become worn should be touched up or
coated with grease to prevent rusting.
Remove all dirt from all chains and blow dry using compressed air.
Apply grease to all bearings, ram-pivots, and PTO shaft.
Use the padlock provided to lock the hitch eye cover in place.
