Storage; Conveying Oilseeds - Walinga Agri-Vac 3510 Operator's Manual And Parts Book

4.9 STORAGE

• Store away from areas of human activity.
• Do not allow children to play on or around the
®
stored Agri-Vac .
At the end of the season, the machine should be
thoroughly inspected and prepared for storage.
Repair or replace any worn or damaged components
to prevent any unnecessary down time at the start of
next season.
Follow this procedure:
1. Wash the entire machine thoroughly using a water
hose or pressure washer to remove all dirt, mud,
debris or residue.
2. Lubricate all grease points. Make sure all grease
cavities have been lled with grease to remove
any water residue from the washing.
3. Check the oil level in the blower reservoirs. Bring
to the recommended level.
4. Install the plugs into the receiver tank inlet and air-
lock outlet.
5. Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to prevent
rusting.
6. All hoses should be stored inside or under a
shelter.
7. Move the machine to its storage position.
8. Select an area that is dry, level and free of debris.
9. Motors should be stored in a clean, dry, ventilated
location. When in storage the motor shaft should
be turned several rotation every month and the
bearings re-lubricated every year.
10. It is recommended that the starter be powered up
once per year, for one hour continuously to avoid
deterioration of electrolyte and subsequent starter
failure.

STORAGE SAFETY
• Store unit in a dry, level area. Support the base
with planks if required.

4.10 CONVEYING OILSEEDS

For conveying oil seed commodities (such as
sunflower seeds or canola) we recommend a
raised tip blower and washout ports.
The raised tip blowers have a tip on the impellor
that cleans the casing as the blower rotates.
After conveying oilseeds, we recommend washing
the internal surfaces to remove any residue.
This will reduce the risk of seizing caused by a
build up of oil residue.
