MAINTENANCE
Maintenance is a fundamental operation to extend the life and performance of any agricultural vehicle;
taking care of the machine grants you not only proper efficiency and execution, but also a longer life of all
the equipment and greater safety of the workplace.
The operating times indicated in this manual have just an informative character and refer to normal
conditions of use; they can thus undergo variations according to the type of service.
CAUTION
Before injecting lubricating grease into the zerks, clean them thoroughly to prevent mud, dust, or other
foreign matters from mixing up with grease, thus diminishing the lubrication effect.
• When adding or changing oil, it is better to use the same oil type, in order to avoid mixing oils with
different features.
• Before executing maintenance activities on the machine, stop the engine, disengage the power takeoff,
set the parking brake and place the equipment on the ground in horizontal position.
• After the first working hours, check that all bolts and nuts are tightened; remember to also often check
all the machine safety guards.
FIRST CHECK
• Check the correct tension of the driving belt.
• Check that all bolts and nuts are tightened.
• After the first 50 hours of work, change oil in the gearbox.
EVERY 8 HOURS OF WORK
• Rotate teardrop shaped plate B and grease the shaft support (driveline side) through lubricating nipple A
(picture 1).
• Grease the shaft support (external side) through lubricating zerk A (picture 2).
• Grease the shaft support (driveline) and the belt tensioner idler pin through lubricating zerks A and B
(picture 3).
• Grease the stabilizing roller through lubricating zerk A (picture 4).
EVERY 50 HOURS OF WORK
• Check the tension of the driving belt.
• Check that all bolts and nuts are tightened.
• Check the cutters/hammers for wear.
• Check the overgear unit oil level through plug A (picture 5).
EVERY 500 HOURS OF WORK
• Check that all bolts and nuts are tightened.
• Change oil in the overgear unit.
EVERY 1000 HOURS OF WORK
Replace the driving belt.
GEAR BOX MAINTENANCE
• The oil should be drained out and replaced after the first 50 hours of operation. Then the oil should be
changed every 250 hours, or at least once a year.
• Drain the oil from the gearbox thoroughly. Check and clean it. Fill with new gear oil up to the dedicated oil
level.
• The draining procedure is as follows: remove the draining bolt under the gear box so that the oil drains off.
After the oil is drained, put the plug back and fill with gear oil up to the dedicated oil level.
