5. Servicing and Maintenance
5.5 DD Light Roll
The spacers and rings on the DD Light Roll
are held under tension by the end plates at
the outer ends of the roll tube.
Specialist equipment is required
for the disassembly of DD Light
rollers. Please consult your dealer
under any circumstances that
require disassembly of these
axles.
Maintenance of these rollers is limited to
yearly/end of season greasing of the bearings
and regular inspection to ensure the
assemblies are tight, and scrapers are
correctly set.
The scraper is intended to clear dirt
from blocking between adjacent DD
rings. If adjustment to the scrapers
is required ensure that the scraper
cannot contact the spacer even
under load. Regularly inspect the
spacers for signs of wear and adjust
any scrapers to ensure no contact
can be made.
5.4 Terra-Grip Tine Points
Tine maintenance should be
performed with the machine fully
raised and with all taps closed.
When working under the machine
ensure that the tractor handbrake
is on.
When changing points on Terra-
Grip tines extreme care should be
taken. Wear goggles at all times
when changing tine points.
5.3.2 Bearing Seals
It is important when replacing the labyrinth
type bearing seals in disc hubs that the seal
is fitted the right way round. The chamfered
lip side should be at the outside of the bearing
housing, nearest the disc arm (see Fig. 5.02).
This chamfered lip prevents dirt ingress into
the housing and also allows grease to be
flushed though when greasing.

5.6 Brakes & Wheel Hubs
The brakes should be tested before using for
the first time and after the first laden journey.
Check that the road and parking
brakes operate and release
correctly before using the machine.
Check for hydraulic fluid and air
leaks.
Brake and hub maintenance and
servicing should be carried out by
an authorised Simba dealer.
