8.1.
Cleaning the equipment
Clean the silage forks regularly to prevent accumulation of dirt which is more difficult to remove. You may
use a pressure washer and a mild detergent. Do not use strong solvents or spray directly at the hydraulic
components or at the labels on the attachment either.
Do not store the attachment directly against the ground; place it on blocks of wood or on a pallet, for
example. For longer storage periods touch up the paint where needed, grease the lubrication points and oil
the visible parts of the hydraulic cylinder shaft to prevent rust damage.
8.2.
Lubricating
The silage forks have a total of six lubrication points, to which a small amount of lubricant is added every 5-
10 hours of use. The lubrication points are located at the both ends of the hydraulic cylinders and two more
are at the grapple pivot. All lubrication nipples are standard R1/8” nipples. Replace any damaged nipples.
Lubricant must be added approximately every 10 operating hours. Clean the end of the
nipple before greasing. Only add the grease amount of a couple of grease press
pushes at a time.
