4.3.9 Storing the Windrower
At the end of each operating season, you need to store your windrower properly.
WARNING
Never use gasoline, naphtha, or any volatile material for cleaning purposes. These materials are toxic and
can be flammable.
CAUTION
Never operate engine in a closed building. Proper ventilation is required to avoid exhaust gas hazards.
CAUTION
Remember when working around storage batteries that all of the exposed metal parts are live. Never lay a
metal object across the terminals because a spark and short circuit will result.
1. Clean the windrower thoroughly.
2. Store windrower in a dry protected place.
3. Remove battery. Refer to Removing Batteries, page 332 .
4. Bring to full charge and store in a cool, dry place not subject to freezing.
5. If stored outside, always cover windrower with a waterproof tarpaulin or other protective material. This will protect
the switches, instruments, tires, etc. from inclement weather.
6. If no cover is available; seal air cleaner intake and exhaust pipe with plastic bags and/or waterproof tape.
7. If possible, block up windrower to take weight off tires. If it is not possible to block up the machine, increase tire
pressure by 25% for storage. Adjust to recommended operating pressure before next use.
8. Repaint all worn or chipped painted surfaces to prevent rust.
9. Lubricate the windrower thoroughly, leaving excess grease on fittings to keep moisture out of bearings. Apply
grease to exposed threads and sliding surfaces of components.
