Winter storage

When the season is finished, preparation for winter storage should take place immediately. Start by thoroughly cleaning the machine - then grease the machine thoroughly so that any remaining water is pressed out of the bearings. Change the oil in cutterbar and gearbox and let the machine rotate for a few minutes.

Go over the machine for wear and other defects - make a note of the necessary parts required for the next season and place your order for spare parts.

Observe the safety instructions of the machine. The winter storage operations must only be carried out by competent persons with experience of working with agricultural machinery in a secure and responsible way.

Pre-winter storage procedure:

●Check all points mentioned in the MAINTENANCE part shown on page 29. Especially pay attention to the cones of the cutterbar.

●Check the cutting discs for wear. The central cutting discs can be interchanged, so that they get the opposite direction of rotation.

●Also check the gear wheel of the cutterbar for wear by removing one collar bearing in the left hand side (maximum load). Also check bearing back-lash. Repair of the cutterbar - see page 43.

●Check V-belt transmission for wear.

●Always make sure that the safety equipment of the machine is not worn or damaged, e.g. the tube protection of the PTO shafts, guards at the rotating parts and the tarpaulin-guard of the machine.

●Press the hydraulic piston into the cylinder housing. Dismantle the linkage pins if necessary.

●Sprinkle a thin coat of rust preventing oil all over the machine. This is especially important on all parts polished with use. Store the machine in an aerated house.
