Maintenance

5.1 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

The various routine maintenance operations are described below. Remember that lower running costs and long machine life
depend on continual compliance with these instructions.
Before proceeding with any operation, make sure that the machine is parked on a flat surface. Prevent it from moving by
placing chocks under the wheels.
Servicing, adjusting and the operations required to prepare the machine for work must be carried out with the tractor and
the driveline detached from the machine.
The servicing frequencies indicated in this manual are indicative and refer to normal conditions of use. They may therefore vary
depending on the type of service, whether the environment is dirty or not, seasonal factors, etc.
The servicing operations must obviously be carried out more frequently in heavier duty service conditions.
Before injecting lubricating grease into the grease nipples, carefully clean the unions to prevent mud, dust or foreign bodies
from mixing with the grease as this would reduce or even annul its lubricating effects.
Injection into the greasing points of a large quantity of grease at high pressure can damage the bearing protection.
Carefully read the warnings and precautions on the lubricant containers.

5.2 LUBRICATION

Lubrication of any machine with parts that turn and/or rub together is a vitally important task for the life and functionality of the
actual machine itself. Lubrication must therefore be carried out systematically and at the required intervals.
▪
Grease nipples on the front and rear rotation pins of the two side frames.
▪
Grease nipples on the levelling bar adjuster screws
▪
Grease nipples on the driveline spiders, 2 on the central main shaft and 2 on each side shaft
▪
Grease nipples on the depth adjuster screws (if installed)
▪
Lubricate the sliding surfaces of the two side frames with grease
▪
Greasing the side supports of the rollers
The folding harrow must always be parked in the open position.
This operation must therefore be carried out with due care.
Lubricate and grease all the required points.
Use oil of the recommended type for topping up and changes.
Keep all lubricants well away from children's reach.
The operator should thoroughly wash himself after using lubricants.
Dispose of used oil in compliance with the anti-pollution laws.
