8. Storage
To ensure a long, trouble-free life, the following procedure should be followed
when preparing the unit for storage after the season’s use:
1. Fully lower the auger.
2. Remove all residual material from the auger.
3. Remove entangled material from all moving or rotating parts.
4. Wash the entire machine thoroughly using a water hose or pressure washer
to remove all dirt, mud, debris, and residue.
5. Repair or replace any worn or damaged components to prevent any
unnecessary downtime at the start of the next season.
6. Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to prevent rusting.
7. Position the auger in an area that is dry, level, free of debris, and away from
human activity.
8. Support the hitch on blocks to eliminate prolonged contact with the ground.
9. Lubricate all grease fittings (see page 101).
10. Clean and lightly lubricate the spline on the PTO driveline. Cover the PTO
driveline with a plastic bag to protect it from the weather and place it in the
transport saddle.
11. Check tire pressure and inflate to 24 psi (165 kPa).
12. Chock the wheels.
13. Place the hopper in transport position, ensuring there will be adequate
drainage of any moisture.
