5.8 Preparation for
Storage
If you need to store the machine for a longer
period, observe the following points:
• Park the machine undercover if possible.
• Protect the roll / discs against rust. If
you need to spray the implements with
oil, use light biologically degradable oils,
e.g. rape oil.
Cover any rubber sections before
using oil sprays. These sections
must not be oiled. Remove
any traces of oil with a suitable
cleaning agent.
5.5 Tines
When performing maintenance
work on tines extreme care
should be taken. Wear goggles
and gloves at at all times when
maintaining tines.
Safely support unfolded machine
in raised position using taps
and stands before attempting
maintenance work on tines.
Do not attempt to assist fitting tine
points with a steel headed hammer,
this can lead to splintering of the
metal due to its hardness, which
can cause injury. If tine fitting
requires assistance, a copper/
hide or plastic mallet should be
used.
