Remove net roll and store in a cool, dry place.
Release belt tension.
Clean baler thoroughly inside and out. 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 net knife.
Coat exposed cylinder rods with grease to prevent rusting.
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.
All parts from which the paint has been worn should be painted or coated with oil.
Clean all chains by washing them with diesel fuel. Dry thoroughly and coat with a heavy oil.
Protect electrical connectors against corrosion with adequate fluid.
List the replacement parts that will be needed and order them.
IMPORTANT:
If the net tying 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.
