Shelter baler in a dry place. If baler must be stored outside, belt life can be prolonged by releasing tension, covering or removing belts to protect from sunlight etc. Check hooks and store belts in a cool dry place.

Clean baler thoroughly inside and out. Trash and dirt will draw moisture and cause rust.

If net wrapping is installed, clean net wrapping frame thoroughly inside and out. Remove net roll and store in a cool, dry place. Sharpen and grease net knife.

IMPORTANT: If the net wrapping device is going to be stored for a long period, avoid the rubber feed roll being deformed by releasing feed roll pressure and placing feed roll brake into unlocked position.

NOTE: Should a high-pressure washer be used to clean the baler, do not direct pressurized water on the bearings or electrical components.

Check that all rolls are working freely. If one of them is hard to rotate, remove it, clean bearing housing and replace bearing, if necessary.

Apply a few drops of oil to all pivot points and linkages.

Thoroughly lubricate baler. See "Lubrication and Maintenance" Section.

Apply a thin layer of grease to threads of all adjusting bolts.

Grease guard tubes (A) at the beginning of the winter season to prevent freezing.

All parts from which the paint has been worn should be painted or coated with oil to prevent net from sticking.

Clean all chains by washing them with diesel fuel. Dry thoroughly and coat with a heavy oil.

Block up baler, taking load off tires. Do NOT deflate tires. If exposed, cover tires to protect them from light, grease and oil.
