STORAGE

Your rotary cutter represents an investment from which you should get the greatest possible benefit.

Therefore, when the season is over, the cutter should be thoroughly checked and prepared for storage so that

a minimum amount of work will be required to put it back into operation for the next season. The following are

suggested sto ra g e pr ocedures:

6. Thoroughly c lea n th e cu tte r.

7. Lubricate the cutter as covered in Maintenance Section.

8. Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended torque.

9. Check the cutter for worn or damaged parts. Make replacements immediately.

10. Store the cutter in a clean, dry place with the cutter housing resting on blocks.

11. Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary to prevent rust and maintain the appearance of the cutter.

The chart lists the correct tightening torque for fasteners. When bolts are to be tightened or replaced, refer to

this chart to determine the grade of bolts and the proper torque except when specific torque values are

assigned in manual text.
