Storage
13.1 End of season
Carefully clean the 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.
On electronic control machines, remove the control box from the tractor and
store in a dry, safe environment.
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.

Operation & Wrapper Adjustments” on page 61).
