Storage (Winter Storage) - Kongskilde FCT 1260 Operator's Manual

9. STORAGE (WINTER STORAGE)

The machine should be prepared for winter storage immediately after the end of the
season. Start by cleaning the machine thoroughly. Dust and dirt absorb moisture and
moisture increases the formation of rust.
CAUTION:
IMPORTANT: Grease all grease points after cleaning the machine.
The following points provide guidelines on how to prepare for winter storage:

Check the machine for wear and other defects – Make a note of the parts you
will need before the next season and order the spare parts;

Disconnect the PTO drive shafts, lubricate the profile tubes and keep them in a
dry place;

Spray the machine with a thin coat of rust-preventing oil. This is especially
important for parts that become polished with use;

Change the oil in the gearboxes.

Store the machine in a ventilated machinery store;

Jack up and support the machine to relieve pressure on the tyres.

9. STORAGE (WINTER STORAGE)
Be careful when cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner. Never spray
directly onto bearings, and grease all grease points carefully after
cleaning, so that any water is forced out of the bearings.
