5. Servicing and Maintenance
5.4 Cultivation Elements
When performing maintenance
work on cultivation elements
(discs, levelling boards, eradictor
tines) extreme care should be
taken. Wear goggles and gloves
at at all times when maintaining
ground engaging parts.
Do not attempt to assist fitting
working elements with a steel
headed hammer, this can lead
to splintering of the metal due
to its hardness, which can
cause injury. If fitting requires
assistance, a copper/hide or
plastic mallet should be used.
Safely support unfolded machine
in raised position using taps
and stands before attempting
maintenance work on elements
under the machine.
5.6 Maintenance
Intervals
Apart from daily maintenance, the
maintenance intervals are based on the
number of operating hours and time data.
Keep a record of your operating hours to
ensure that the specified maintenance
intervals are adhered to as closely as
possible.
Never use a machine that is due for
maintenance. Ensure that all deficiencies
found during regular checks are remedied
immediately.
5.5 Operator Support
If you have a problem, please contact your
dealer. They will endeavour to solve any
problems which may occur and provide you
with support at all times.
In order to enable your dealer to deal with
problems as quickly as possible, it helps
if you can provide them with the following
data. Always state the:
• Customer Number
• Name and Address
• Machine Model
• Serial Number of Machine
• Date of Purchase and Operating Hours
• Type of Problem
Avoid sharp-edged and pointed
parts (disc blades, etc.) when
working on the machine.
Place the machine on suitable
supports
when working
underneath! Do not work under a
machine which is not supported!
On a new machine tighten all nuts and bolts
after 5 hours work and again after 15 hours.
This also applies to parts that have been
moved or replaced. After the initial 15 hours
of work a once a week check should be
sufficient depending on daily work rates.
