WARNING:
When performing maintenance or adjustment works underneath the mower, use
adequate locks for lifted parts of the machine preventing their falling and risk
of crushing.
6.6.3. After-season maintenance and storing
At the end of mowing season the following shall be performed:
❑ Lower the mower’s cutter bar onto the ground,
❑ Take the PTO shaft extension out of the tractor rpm or dismount the complete PTO shaft and place
it into a corresponding holder on the 3-point linkage frame,
❑ Disconnect hydraulic and electrical hoses from the tractor and hang them onto corresponding
holders on the 3-point linkage frame,
❑ Unhitch the mower from the tractor (reverse procedure as in case of attaching the mower to
the tractor, see Section 5.8), and drive the tractor away.
Mower should be stored in standstill position, so it is supported onto supporting leg and the cutter
bar. It is recommended to store the set on paved ground, preferably in roofed places, inaccessible to
unauthorized personnel or animals.
IMPORTANT:
When storing SAMBA mowers with hitch set vertically protect the cutter bar by means of
wedge (K) (Fig. 26) against possible loss in stability, and in consequence mower's tipover.

If stored for adequate period, prior to operating the machine, its technical condition should be examined
and special attention should be paid to the hydraulics and the drive. Paintwork should be
complemented, hydraulic hoses checked and lubricated.
At the end of the season the mower should be cleaned, washed and dried. Carefully grease unpainted
surfaces and 3-point linkage pins.
