OPERATION

STORAGE PROCEDURE

Do the following at the end of each operating

season:

CAUTION:

1. Clean the windrower thoroughly. Never use

gasoline, naphtha or any volatile material

for cleaning purposes. These materials may

be toxic and/or flammable.

2. Cover cutterbar and sickle guards to

prevent injury from accidental contact.

Also:

3. Store in a dry, protected place if possible. If

stored outside, always cover windrower with a

waterproof canvas or other protective material.

4. Raise header and engage lift cylinder stops.

5. If possible, block up the windrower to take

weight off tires.

6. Repaint all worn or chipped painted surfaces to

prevent rust.

7. Loosen drive belts.

8. Lubricate the windrower thoroughly, leaving

excess grease on fittings to keep moisture out

of bearings. Apply grease to exposed threads,

cylinder rods and sliding surfaces of

components. Oil sickle components to prevent

rust.

9. Check for worn components and repair.

10. Check for broken components and order

replacement from your dealer. Attention to

these items right away will save time and effort

at beginning of next season.

11. Replace or tighten any missing or loose

hardware. See Specifications section for torque

charts.

12. Remove divider rods (if equipped) to reduce

space required for inside storage.

MAINTENANCE/SERVICE

service in the raised position, always

engage lift cylinder stops.

2. Disengage PTO.

equipment. Be sure all electrical outlets and

tools are properly grounded.

service.

Use only service and repair parts made or

approved by the equipment manufacturer.
