5. Servicing and
Maintenance
Follow the safety instructions for
servicing and maintenance.
5.1 Servicing
Your machine has been designed and
constructed for maximum performance,
operational 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 authorised
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.
5.2 Cleaning
In order to ensure that the machine is
always in operating condition and to achieve
optimum 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.
5.4 Disc Hub
Maintenance
Disc hubs are sealed for life and
do not require greasing.
Check disc hubs regularly for
tightness. Tighten if necessary.
5. Servicing and Maintenance
Ensure the machine is safely
supported 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.
Ensure the tine leg is supported
when removing pins to ensure it
doesn‘t fall.
5.3 Tines
When performing maintenance
work on tines extreme care
should be taken. Wear goggles
and gloves at at all times when
maintaining tines.
