SECTION 5

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.

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. The frequencies given
refer to machine use in a normal environment. If this machine is used in heavier duty conditions, it must naturally be lubricated
more frequently.

5.2.1 RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS

▪
For the gear tank we recommends: COLUMBIA V.V. GEAR EP460 oil
▪
MekFarmer 150 vers. 250................5.81 U.S. gal

It is advisable to lubricate the overdrive with: SAE 85W/140 oil, with API-GL5/MIL-L-2105C specifications..............6.1 U.S. qt
▪
For all greasing points, the Manufacturer recommends: LITHIUM GREASE.
When servicing the driveline, strictly comply with the instructions given by the driveline Manufacturer, in the specific operation
and maintenance manual with which each driveline is equipped.
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.
Carefully read the warnings and precautions on the lubricant containers.
The operator should thoroughly wash himself after using lubricants.
Dispose of used oil in compliance with the anti-pollution laws.
