IMPORTANT:

Regular and thorough cleaning

of machine combined with other routine

maintenance procedures listed in the

Operator’s Manual greatly reduce the risk of

fire, chance of costly downtime, and improve

machine performance.
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.
