5.9 Machine Storage
Follow the following sections for guidance to correctly storing Multicut machines out of working use and
preparing back into correct working condition.
5.9.1 Preparing The Machine For Storage
Following seasonal use it is important to prepare the machine for storage, thinking of the preservation of parts
condition and ease of reintroduction when bringing the machine back into work after periods of no use.
Follow the following points:
Thoroughly wash the machine removing all traces of grass and dirt.
Great care should be taken when using pressure washers. Do not hold the pressure
washer lance close to the paintwork and items containing seals as this can cause
damage and discolouration.
Spearhead does not recommend using steam cleaners.
Remove and store the input PTO shaft.
Carefully fold the headstock over towards the centre of the machine.
Inflate tyres (if applicable) to the correct pressure as stated in Section 5.5.1.
Grease all grease points following the guidance given in Section 5.2.3 and 5.2.4.
Tighten all fasteners, pins and hoses to the recommended torque.
Use touch up paint available from Spearhead where necessary to preserve the
appearance of the machine.
Ideally store the machine in the dry indoors, on a firm surface or stands, away from
the elements. This will greatly preserve the machines physical appearance and
condition.
It is also best practice to inspect the machine for worn/damaged items which will be required to
be replaced before entering work again in the new season. Consult the maintenance schedule
for the machine (Section 5.8) as well as other specific maintenance task sections to see what
could be required to be done to the machine.
Ordering replacement parts at the beginning of this period with plenty of time will potentially
reduce the delays of reintroduction into work with out of stock items. Many other local
operators will be carrying out the same procedure at the same time.
Figure 5.37 – Prepare For Storage
Where parts are broken, damaged and deemed not fit for use; replace with genuine Spearhead parts using the
online Interactive Parts facility at
https://my.spearheadmachinery.com/parts/public-interactive-parts-database/
You will require the machine serial number. Assistance to its location can be found in Section 1.3.
Spearhead Multicut rotary mowers are designed to withstand the most rigorous conditions and with a little care
and attention will give many years of trouble-free service. So as not to invalidate the warranty and to avoid
problem, use only genuine Spearhead parts and make sure the machine is not driven at a speed in excess of
540/1000 rpm on the PTO.
