Cleaning, maintenance, care, and repairs
General information
To maintain the implement in good condition even after a long service life, the
following instructions must be observed:
•
Original parts and accessories are designed especially for the machines or
implements.
•
Please note that parts and accessories not supplied by us have also not been
tested and approved by us.
•
The installation or use of such products can therefore possibly negatively change
or impede the constructional properties of your implement. The manufacturer
rules out any liability for damages resulting from the use of non-original parts and
accessories.
•
The manufacturer is not liable for any unauthorised modifications and the use of
components and auxiliary parts.
•
All bolted connections should be re-tightened at the latest after 3 operating hours
and again after 20 hours, and then checked regularly. (Loose bolts can cause
significant consequential damage, which is not covered by the warranty.)
•
During the winter, the implement should be protected against rust with an
environmentally-friendly product.
•
Park the implement protected from weather conditions.
•
Do NOT clean the implement with water. It is recommended to clean the
implement with compressed air.
Caution: the paint can be damaged by cleaning with excessive air pressure.
Emptying the seed hopper
Before cleaning or decommissioning, the seed remaining in the seed drill must be
removed from the seed hopper.
To empty the hopper, unscrew the screw plug on the emptying nozzle (Fig.: 37) at
the front of the hopper, and hold a container, sack or other vessel underneath (only
possible with 100 l hopper).
To ensure complete emptying, you must also remove the accessories kit located
below the metering unit by opening the quick fasteners (Fig.: 38, Fig.: 39), and then
attach a sack or suitable hopper to collect the residual quantity (Fig.: 40).
Then actuate the menu point "Emptying" on the control box. With this menu point, the
seeding shaft starts rotating automatically. Now let the seeding shaft rotate until the
hopper is completely empty, and the seed wheels no longer deliver seed.
TIP:
To remove even the last seed residues, clean out the hopper with compressed
air.
Alternatively, you can suck out the seed residues with an industrial vacuum cleaner.
