Preparing Combine for Storage

Swing out condenser and oil cooler. Clean radiator with air, water or a vacuum cleaner. Clean condenser and oil cooler after cleaning radiator. Clean the charge air cooler.

Every 60 to 90 days start engine and turn air conditioning on. Run engine at low idle for several minutes for compressor seal lubrication. Outside temperature should be above 5°C (40°F) for proper air conditioning operation.

Clean outside of engine with a safe solvent.

CAUTION: Do not use gasoline.

Clean inside of air cleaner and install new elements.

With engine warm, drain crankcase. Replace filter and fill with correct oil. Add 0.66L (22 oz.) of corrosion inhibitor to crankcase. Run engine to circulate.

Drain, flush, and refill cooling system with 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water.

See lubrication and maintenance schedule.

Add .94 L (1 qt.) of RE23182 coolant conditioner. Run engine to circulate.

Drain water separator.

Remove and clean batteries. Store them in a cool dry place and keep them charged.

Clean combine inside and out. Leave elevator doors and drain covers open.

Cycle concave up and down several times to prevent material buildup in the concave area.

IMPORTANT: Do not use high pressure washer spray directly on bearings. High pressure water can get past most seals and cause damage. Dry these areas, then lube and run combine.

Repaint areas where needed.

Perform all 400 hour (yearly) service.

Fill fuel tank to prevent condensation.
