Storage
14.1 End of season
Carefully clean the baler and wrapper sections inside and out. Dirt and foreign
objects are likely to draw moisture and cause rusting of steel components. In
the case of using a high pressure washer, do not point pressurized water at or
near electrical components, pivots points, valves or bearings. McHale
recommend that the machine be blown down with an air line as opposed to a
pressure washer in order to protect the overall paint work on the machine.
Remove control box from the tractor and store in a dry, safe environment
Clean the net wrapping system, as described in Section “Care of the net
wrapping system” on page 40. Remove net roll and store, as per
manufacturers instructions. Grease net knife and cut and hold knives to
prevent rusting, use extreme caution when carrying out this operation, ensure
to wear protective gloves and clothing!
Lubricate all pivot points and apply a thin layer of grease to all adjustment bolt
threads and exposed ram rods
Check all oil and grease lines for damage and repair them if required
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
Fill chain oil reservoir with chain oil and fit new grease cartridge, run PTO at
approx. 200 rpm and with the control box in manual mode, operate the bale tip
up & down for around 15 cycles, to ensure that all chains have a heavy
coating of oil applied, and new grease in all bearings.
Remove the knives from the chopping unit to prevent them from sticking and
store them in the spare knife holder
