Storage

At the end of the season and when putting the disc into storage:

□ Clean dirt and debris from around moving parts and from the top of the frame, gang bars, hitch and bridle.

□ Pay special attention to cleaning the area around the bearings. Spray a light coating of oil or rust preventative around the seal area of the bearings.

□ Lubricate all grease fittings to prevent moisture infiltration.

□ It is recommended to park with the disk in the raised position, coat the exposed hydraulic cylinder rod with grease, install the transport stay and relieve the hydraulic pressure. Place a block under the hitch jack to prevent it from sinking into the ground and be sure the tires are properly inflated. Chock the tires front and rear.

□ Clean disk blades to minimize rust.

□ Coat the quick disconnects in grease and wrap in plastic to prevent rust.

□ Make a final inspection for worn, damaged or missing parts and make necessary repairs before the next season.
