Storing Mower-Conditioner (End of Season)

  1. Put mower-conditioner in a dry place.

  2. Clean mower-conditioner thoroughly. Trash and dirt will draw moisture and cause rust.

  3. Thoroughly lubricate machine. (See Lubrication and Maintenance section.)

  4. Check condition of knives; reverse or replace as necessary.

  5. Remove tension from main and conditioner drive belts.

  6. Paint all parts where necessary.

  7. Put blocking under the wheel supports, taking load off tires. DO NOT DEFLATE TIRES. If exposed, put covers over tires to protect them from light, grease, and oil.

  8. If equipped with fire extinguisher, follow manufacturers recommendation for inspection and maintenance. If mower-conditioner is subject to cold weather, drain or treat fire extinguisher fluid with a nonflammable antifreeze solution to prevent damage.

  9. List replacement parts needed and order them early.
