Remove net roll and twine balls. Store in a cool, dry place.
IMPORTANT:
If the net tying device is going to be stored for a long period of time, place rubber roll brake in unlock position.
For baler with standard net tying device, avoid deformation of rubber roll by releasing feed roll pressure.
For baler with CoverEdge net tying device, place a piece of cardboard between feed rolls, all across their width.
Release belt tension (if equipped).
Clean baler thoroughly inside and outside. Trash and dirt will draw moisture and cause rust.
NOTE:
Should a high-pressure washer be used to clean the baler, do not direct pressurized water on the bearings or electrical components.
Sharpen and grease knives.
Coat exposed cylinder rods with grease to prevent rusting.
