Crop material and other debris can accumulate in various areas. Direction of wind, type of crop, and crop moisture content can all impact where and how much crop material and debris can accumulate. Be aware of harvest conditions and adjust your cleaning schedule to ensure proper machine function and to reduce the risk of fire.These areas may require more frequent cleaning, even multiple times per day,
depending on harvest conditions. Inspect and clean these areas as needed throughout the harvest day.
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.
Refer to the Machine Cleanout Section of your Operator’s Manual for further information.
