STORAGE
If your shredder will not be used for a long period of time, respect the following suggestions:
1. Wash the machine thoroughly and dry it.
2. Lubricate all bearings with enough grease to eliminate any cavities where water condensation may occur
and cause damage. refer to “Maintenance of the Machine” for location of all grease fittings. Be sure the
vent on top of the gearbox is open.
3. Loosen the set nut and spindle jack to relieve drive belt tension (NOTE: Before next season’s use, be sure
to adjust the drive belt tension).
4. Coat all exposed surfaces inside the mower with oil or grease to prevent rusting and pitting during
storage.
5. Protect the whole machine with a tarpaulin and put it in a dry place.
PRE-SEASON CHECK
1. Check the oil level in the gearbox and lubricate all bearings. See “Lubrication”.
2. Adjust drive belt tension. See “Belt Drive”.
3. Check all equipment and replace damaged or worn parts.
4. Tighten all bolts and nuts (See “Torque Specifications”).
5. Inspect for missing and/or broken blades/knives. Replace as necessary. See “Knife Replacement”.
6. Be sure that the safety guards are in place.
7. Run the flail mower at low RPM checking to make sure that all driveline parts are moving freely.
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance is a fundamental operation to extend life and performances of any agricultural vehicle;
taking care of the machine grants you not only a good work execution, but also a longer life of the whole
equipment and a greater safety in the workplace.
The operating times indicated in this manual have just an informative character and are referred 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 accurately 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 engine, disengage power take-off, set
parking brake and place the equipment on the ground in horizontal position.
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 int he gearbox.
EVERY 8 HOURS OF WORK
• Rotate teardrop shaped plate B and grease the shaft support (driveline side) through the lubricating nipple
A (Picture 1).
• Grease the shaft support (external side) through the lubricating zerk A. (Picture 2).
• Grease the shaft support (driveline) and the belt tensioner idler pin through the lubricating zerks A and B
(Picture 3).
• Grease the stabilizing roller through the lubricating zerk A. (Picture 4).
