Storage Safety

•
Before adjusting, cleaning, storing, or repairing the
machine, park the it on a level surface; engage
the parking brake of the traction unit; shut off the
engine; remove the key; and wait for all movement
to stop before leaving the traction unit.
•
Store the machine on the storage stands
g007307
positioned on a firm, level surface so that it does
not sink or tip over.
•
Store the machine away from areas of human
activity.
•
Do not allow children to play on or around the
stored machine.

Storing the Machine

At the end of an aerating season or when the machine
is stored for a long period, do out the following
procedure:
1. Clean off any dirt or grease that may have
accumulated on the machine or any of the
moving parts.
2. Remove and clean out the tines. Coat the tines
with oil to prevent rusting during storage.
3. Open the hood and clean out the inside of the
machine.
4. Lubricate all grease fittings.
5. Store the machine on the provided storage
stands on a hard, dry surface.
6. Support the PTO driveshaft in the stored position
with the tether to prevent damage, or remove
the PTO and store it under the hood to minimize
corrosion.
7. Paint the roller and touch up any other scratches
on the painted surfaces.
8. Replace any missing or damaged decals.
9. Store the machine inside a dry, secure building.
Inside storage reduces maintenance, gives a
longer working life, and increases the residual
value of the machine. If inside storage is not
available, cover the machine with a heavy sheet
or tarpaulin and secure it tightly.
