7.22 STORAGE

Do the following at the end of each operating season: a. Clean the header thoroughly.

CAUTION

Never use gasoline, naphtha or any volatile material for cleaning purposes. These materials may be toxic and/or flammable.

CAUTION

Cover cutterbar and sickle guards to prevent injury from accidental contact.

b. Store the machine in a dry, protected place if possible. If stored outside, always cover with a waterproof canvas or other protective material. c. If machine is stored outside, remove drapers and store in a dark, dry place.

NOTE

If drapers are not removed, store header with cutterbar lowered so water/snow will not accumulate on drapers. This accumulation of weight puts excessive stress on drapers and header

d. Lower header onto blocks to keep cutterbar off the ground. e. Lower reel completely. If stored outside, tie reel to frame to prevent rotation caused by wind. f. Repaint all worn or chipped painted surfaces to prevent rust. g. Loosen drive belts. h. Lubricate the header thoroughly, leaving excess grease on fittings to keep moisture out of bearings. Apply grease to exposed threads, cylinder rods and sliding surfaces of components.

Oil sickle components to prevent rust. i. Check for worn or broken components, and repair or order replacements from your MacDon 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 8.3.1 Recommended
