Winter storage

At the end of the season, some extra time should be dedicated to the equipment before storing it during the winter
time.
It is recommended you store it in a place where it cannot be affected by freezing temperatures. Put at least 10 litres
of anti-freeze covering 33% of the inside of the tank and turn the pump for a few minutes so that the entire circuit
is impregnated by the solution.
As anti-freeze is an oily solution it also avoids the hoses and all the non-metallic parts from drying up during the
period of time that the equipment will be out of use.

Preparing the equipment for use after storage

After storage, the equipment should be prepared well, thus guaranteeing it is in good condition for the new season.
To do this correctly, follow the steps set out below:
1. Take off the protective canvas cover if you had put one on.
2. Fit the pressure gauge again. Change the old Teflon.
3. Connect the equipment up to the tractor, including the electric cables and hydraulic hoses.
4. Check the hydraulic functions.
5. Drain the remaining anti-freeze from the tank.
6. Completely rinse out the liquid circuit with clean water.
7. Fill the tank with clean water and check all its functions.
