•Before placing the machine in winter storage, clean inside and outside thoroughly. If you
use a high-pressure cleaner to do this. do not keep a stream of water directed at bearing
points. After cleaning is completed, lubricate all lubrication points. Do not wipe off any
grease that comes out of bearing points. The hardened grease will provide additional
protection against moisture.
•Disassemble the PTO shaft. Lubricate the inner tubes and the guard tube with grease.
Grease the lubrication points on the cross joint and on the bearing rings of the guard
tubes.
•Oil all joint points!
•Touch up damaged paint and preserve all uncoated areas thoroughly with rust protection
agent.
•Check all movable components such as deflector rollers, joints, tension rollers, etc. to
make certain they move easily. If necessary remove, clean, grease and remount. If
necessary, replace with new parts.
•Use only original KRONE replacement parts.
Perform the necessary repair tasks during the time immediately after the harvest season. Draw
up a list of all replacement parts you will need. This will make it easier for your KRONE dealer to
process your orders and you will be certain that your machine will be ready for use at the
beginning of the next season.
