6.19 STORAGE

Do the following at the end of each operating
season:
a. Clean the windrower thoroughly.
CAUTION
Never use gasoline, naphtha or any volatile
material for cleaning
materials may be toxic and/or flammable.
CAUTION
Cover cutterbar and sickle guards to prevent
injury from accidental contact.
b. Store in a dry, protected place if possible. If
stored outside, always cover windrower with a
waterproof canvas or other protective material.
c. Raise header and engage lift cylinder lock-outs.
d. If possible, block up the windrower to take
weight off tires.
e. Repaint all worn or chipped painted surfaces to
prevent rust.
f. Loosen drive belts.
g. Lubricate the windrower thoroughly, leaving
excess grease on fittings to keep moisture out of
bearings. Apply grease to exposed threads,
cylinder rods and
components. Oil sickle components to prevent
rust.
h. Check for worn components and repair.
i. 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.
j. Replace or tighten any missing or loose
hardware. Refer to Section 6.5, Recommended
Torques.
k. Remove divider rods (if equipped) to reduce
space required for inside storage.
