Cleaning Out Machine (Periodic)

The photographs in this section show area of the machine that require regular inspection and cleaning. While there are other areas that require regular cleaning, frequent attention to these areas provides the greatest impact on fire prevention.

Some of these photographs show accumulations of crop material and other debris prior to cleaning. This type of accumulation is not normal; it was allowed for illustrative purposes only.

IMPORTANT: These areas may require more frequent cleaning, even multiple times per day, depending on harvest conditions. Be aware of harvest conditions and adjust your cleaning schedule to ensure proper machine function and to reduce the risk of fire.

Other areas not covered in this section may also collect crop debris and MUST be cleaned periodically for machine function and appearance. Thoroughly inspect the entire machine on a regular basis throughout the harvest season.

Always follow all safety procedures posted on the machine and in the Operator’s Manual. Before carrying out any inspection or cleaning, always shut OFF engine, set parking brake and remove key.

Thoroughly clean machine from top to bottom with compressed air. First clean all areas accessible from engine deck. Start with engine compartment and work outwards and counterclockwise to other areas around engine compartment, floor underneath engine, top rear of rotor and rear deck, including top of diesel particulate filter (if equipped). Once top areas of machine are clean, proceed to cleaning areas accessible from ground level.

From ground level, clean rear underside of fuel tank area and top of the rear tailboard of the residue disposal system. Diesel particulate filter area (if equipped) will also need to be cleaned from ground level. Once the cleaning from ground level is finished, recheck engine compartment for any crop debris that could have blown in from ground level cleaning.
