5.6 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
• Date of Purchase and Operating Hours
• Type of Problem
5.7 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.
Avoid sharp-edged and pointed
parts (tine points, etc.) when
working on the machine.
Place the machine on suitable
s u p p o r t s w h e n w o r k i n g
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.
5.5 Preparation for
Storage
If you need to store the machine for a longer
period, observe the following points:
• Park the machine undercover if possible.
• Protect the roll against rust. If you
need to spray the roll with oil, use light
biologically degradable oils, e.g. rape oil.
Cover any rubber sections before
using oil sprays. These sections
must not be oiled.
Remove any traces of oil with a
suitable cleaning agent.
5. Servicing and Maintenance
5.4 Double Disc Axles
The axles on this roller are tensioned by the
main axle through the centre of the rings
and bearings.
Specialist equipment is required
for the disassembly of Double
Disc axles. Please consult your
dealer under any circumstances
that require disassembly of these
axles.
Maintenance of these rollers is limited to
daily greasing of the bearings to flush out
dirt, and regular inspection to ensure the
assemblies are tight, and scrapers are
correctly set. The axles can be tightened
provided the bearing pillar ‘U’ bolts are
loosened to avoid preloading the bearings
as they move sideways to each other.
Ensure the bearing pillars are re- tightened
to the mainframe after this.
