NOTE: Mounting of wheels requires sufficient knowledge and correct mounting tools. NOTE: Check regularly and adjust if necessary the tire pressure.
7 - MAINTENANCE Storage Pressure washing Before you use pressure washing, clean the implement with compressed air. NOTE: Legislation in certain countries and good practice requires special treatment of waste water through sed- imentation and oil separation and controlled removal of residues.
7 - MAINTENANCE End of season service When the season is over, prepare the implement for the storage immediately. To prepare the implement for winter storage: 1. Clean the implement thoroughly. Dust and dirt absorb moisture and moisture increases the formation of rust. 2.
Order and install the spare parts and/or accessories at once before the next season. When you order spare parts, always make sure to give your KONGSKILDE dealer the model number and the Product Identification Number (PIN) of your implement. See “Product identification” in Chapter 1 of this opera- tor’s manual.
