Maintenance & Lubrication
1. Always use the transport lock when
working or doing maintenance on the
turbo-till. Read and understand all safety
decals on your equipment.
2. During the first season of operation, and
periodically after that, check your bolts for
tightness.
3. Check wheel bearings occasionally for
excessive endplay.
4. Replace or rotate worn parts as needed—
bolts, clevis pins, bearings, chisel points
etc...
5. Check and tighten or replace any
hydraulic leaks. Check hoses for any
leaks. It is important that there are no
leaks on the equipment.
6. Grease reel bearings and wheel bearings
sparingly. Over greasing may cause
damage to seals and reduce the life of the
bearing. Grease hinge points periodically.
7. Check the rubber spacers occasionally
located next to bearing flange and replace
if badly worn.
Reel Bearings
Grease every 50 hours (sparingly).
Wheel Bearings
Grease every 50 hours (sparingly) and
check for endplay.
8. If machine is stored outdoors over the winter
months it is a good idea to retract the
cylinders to protect the cylinder rods. This
will extend the life of the cylinder seals and
reduce internal and external leaks.
By following and maintaining a routine service and
lubrication program, your tillage attachment will
give you many years of service.
