MAINTENANCE AND CARE
8.1
GENERAL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
To maintain the implement in good condition even after a long service life, comply with the following
instructions:
In Point 5, you will find some basic safety regulations for maintenance tasks.
Original parts and accessories are specifically designed for the machines, i.e. implements.
We expressly state that parts and accessories that are not delivered by APV are also neither tested
nor approved by APV. Consequently, installing and/or using such products can negatively alter or
affect the prescribed design characteristics of your implement. The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for damage that occurs due to use of non-original parts and accessories.
Unauthorized modifications, as well as use of components and add-on parts on the implement that
are not purchased from APV, exclude any and all liability on the part of the manufacturer and render
the CE Declaration of Confomity null and void.
Check the hydraulic hoses for wear, damage, and ageing before every start-up. Damaged or
faulty parts must be replaced immediately.
When replacing the hydraulic hose lines, original spare parts must be used that meet the technical
requirements specified by the implement manufacturer.
Caution! Liquids escaping under high pressure can penetrate the skin. Consequently, seek medical
attention immediately if there is an accident!
Lubricate all lubrication points after cleaning, and uniformly distribute the lubricant in the bearing points
(e.g. perform a brief test run).
For implements with fast coupler, the guide slots must also be lubricated.
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner to clean bearing parts and hydraulic parts.
Cleaning with excessive pressure can damage the paint.
Use environmentally-friendly agents to protect the implement from rust during the winter.
Park the implement in a place where it is protected from the weather.
Park the implement in a manner that prevents an unnecessary load on the tine wheels.
Hydraulic hose lines must be replaced at the latest 6 years after their manufacturing date. The
manufacturing date of the hydraulic hose lines is specified on the press fittings.
Park hydraulically folded, and also mechanically folded implements in a folded state only.
The hydraulic system must be inspected at least once a year by a qualified specialist.
8.2
INSTRUCTIONS FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE
Retighten all bolted connections no later than after 3 operating hours, then repeat the process after
approx. 20 operating hours, and perform regular inspections afterwards. (Loose bolts can cause
significant secondary damage that is not covered by the guarantee.)
After the first 10 operating hours and every 50 operating hours thereafter, check the hydraulic units
(hoses and couplings) as well as pipeline for leaks and retighten the threaded connections, if
necessary.
All implement parts must be regularly checked for operational capability (appearance and handling).
Occasionally check the tire pressure (approx. 2.1 bar).
The platform kit and its access ladder must be visually inspected on a regular basis.
The rubber for fixation of the access ladder of the platform kit must be checked regularly for wear and
replaced if necessary.
Regularly lubricate the lubricating nipples on the fold points (with multipurpose grease approx. every
10 operating hours).
