STORAGE
Block equipment securely for storage.
Keep children and bystanders away from stor-
age area.
At the end of the season, the shredder should be thor-
oughly inspected and prepared for storage. Repair or
replace any worn or damage components to prevent
unnecessary down time at the beginning of the next
season.
To ensure a long, trouble-free life, prepare the unit for
storage by carrying out the following procedure:
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially children.
2. Thoroughly wash the unit, using a pressure washer
to remove all dirt, mud, debris, and residue. See
Cleaning instructions on page 22.
3. Inspect the flails and rotors for damage or
entangled material. Remove entangled material.
Repair or replace damaged parts.
4. Inspect all hydraulic hoses, lines, couplers, and
fittings. Tighten all loose fittings. Replace any hose
that is cut, nicked, abraded, or separating from the
crimped end of a fitting.
5. Change gearbox oil.
6. Lubricate all grease fittings. Make sure all grease
cavities have been filled with grease to remove any
water residue from pressure washing.
7. Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to prevent
rust.
8. Move to storage area. Select a dry area free of
debris. Store in an area away from human activity.

Tractor, page 18).
