PROPOSALS FOR WINTER STORAGE
Preparation for winter storage of the round baler after
the harvest is necessary to maintain the invested
capital for this machine over a long time. Proper and
thorough care and maintenance in combination with
the repair of worn or damaged parts will save money
and time during restarting.
1. Clean the round baler from stalk residuals and
dirt.
2. Clean all bearings externally from grease and
dust.
3. When cleaning with a high pressure cleaner or
steam jet spray, remove the control box and/or
Control Terminal/Claas Communicator from the
baler.
4. Lubricate all lubrication points until grease
emerges from the bearings (see lubrication chart).
Connect the round baler and run it for a short
while.
5. Release, clean and grease the chains.
6. Check the round baler for wear and damage and
have it repaired.
7. As a measure against drying out of the rubber
cover the tires with a tire protection lacquer.
8. Store the round baler in a dry and
weather-protected room, which is not used to
store fertilisers.
9. Jack the round baler up to relieve the tires and
adjust the specified tire pressure.
If the round baler is not jacked up, the specified
tire pressure must be increased by 1.0 bar
(14.5 psi).
10. Grease all bare parts.
11. Retract the hydraulic cylinder and grease the
piston rod.
12. Clean corroded spots and repair paint damage.
Attention!
If the round baler has to be washed down
(which should be avoided if possible), all
lubrication points must be lubricated after
washing.
Then run the baler warm for a few minutes.
Cavities such as cable ducts should not be
washed with water. Water can partly not be
removed any more from such cavities and
cause the formation of rust.
