5. Servicing and
Maintenance
Follow the safety instructions for
servicing and maintenance.
5.1 Servicing
Your machine has been designed and con-
structed for maximum performance, opera-
tional efficiency and operator friendliness
under a wide variety of operating conditions.
Prior to delivery, your machine has been
checked at the factory and by your autho-
rised dealer to ensure that you receive a
machine in optimum condition.
To ensure trouble-free operation,
it is important that servicing and
maintenance work is performed at
the recommended intervals.
If for any reason the operator needs
to work on the ground engaging
elements it is important that the
machine is safe and secure to do
so. This can be done in two ways:
 Tilt machine rearwards fully onto the
DD roll. Once fully extended lock the
two taps on the top of the main tilt ram.
 Fold the machine up completely
as if it were to be transported. It is
now possible to access all working
elements safely from the outside.
5.2 Cleaning
In order to ensure that the machine is always
in operating condition and to achieve opti-
mum performance, perform the cleaning and
servicing work at regular intervals.
Avoid cleaning the roll / disc bearings with
a high-pressure hose or a direct water jet.
The housing, screwed connections and ball
bearings are not watertight.
5.3 Disc Hub
Maintenance
Grease every disc hub until grease
shows from the seals according to
the lubricating intervals outlined
on pages 37-38.
Check disc hubs regularly for
tightness.
Regularly examine hub caps,
seals, shear and pivot bolts and
all tracking bolts for tightness
and effectiveness twice weekly or
every 50 working hours (whichever
is more frequent).
5.3.1 Tightening Disc Hubs
1 Ensure that the bearing seal is in the
correct orientation when replacing /
assembling components.
2 Ensure that the stub axle is free from
dirt and the nut and outer bearing can
easily slide on it.
3 Tighten the crown nut with a hand
spanner (a torque wrench is not
required) while turning the hub
clockwise until the bearing drags
slightly (you feel the hub turning
heavily). Some resistance will be due
to friction from the seal.
4 Turn back the crown nut to the next
locking position. Even if the tightening
of the nut has reached an exact fixing
position, turn it back.
5 Insert the retaining pin.
Continued over.
