Maintenance and care
Due to its design, the Groundkeeper / HorseHopper is extensively
maintenance-free. However, the following points must be observed.
9.1
Oil level in the angular gearbox
Although the machine's angular gearbox does not require lubrication
servicing, the oil level must be checked once annually. To do this, the
inspection screw mounted on the side of the gearbox must be opened
(Fig. 9.1) and the oil level checked to ensure it reaches the bottom
edge of the hole. The gearbox must be topped up with SAE 90 trans-
mission fluid (contains 0.45l), if necessary.
9.2
Lubrication points
Depending on the intensity of work, the following areas should be
regularly lubricated with multipurpose grease:
•
Guide wheel fork bearing (fig. 9.2-1).
•
Rotor bearings (the V-belt protection on the left-hand side of the
machine must be removed beforehand (WAF 13) (Fig. 9.2-2,
9.2-3),
•
Rear cage roller bearing (Fig. 9.2-4).
•
Shaft bearing (Fig. 9.2-5)
•
PTO shaft.
•
(if the front cage roller accessory is used, also lubricate the cor-
responding bearings).
