5. Servicing and Maintenance
5.7 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.
5.6 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 implements 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.
5.5 Tines
When performing maintenance
work on tines extreme care
should be taken. Wear goggles
and gloves at at all times when
maintaining tines.
Safely support unfolded machine
in raised position using taps
and stands before attempting
maintenance work on tines.
Do not attempt to assist fitting tine
points with a steel headed hammer,
this can lead to splintering of the
metal due to its hardness, which
can cause injury. If tine fitting
requires assistance, a copper/
hide or plastic mallet should be
used.
Avoid sharp-edged and pointed
parts (disc blades, 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.
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
5.8 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.
