27.0 - MAINTENANCE
The maintenance intervals listed below are guidelines for conditions of normal use.
In the case of more demanding working conditions due to environment or seasonal
factors, the frequency of maintenance operations must be increased accordingly.
Always carry out maintenance operations in accordance with the safety
regulations set out in point 8.0.
27.1 - EVERY HOUR OF WORK
Using the tool supplied (fig. 29.G), remove any soil or peat which may have
accumulated inside the distributor (fig. 29.A) and inside or outside the ploughshare
(fig. 29.B). Failure to remove soil or peat from inside the ploughshare restricts
the stroke of the expeller and in addition to prejudicing smooth running, causes
serious mechanical damage.
27.2 - EVERY 8 HOURS OF WORK
Grease the wheel hubs (fig. 30.C).
27.3 - EVERY 40 HOURS OF WORK
Grease the gears of the distributor (fig. 30.F).
-oil the moving parts of the half-cups and opening roller (fig. 30.D).
-oil the drive chains (fig. 30.E).
-check the tightness of the screws.
27.4 - RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS
Grease and oil can be used in the same way as for the tractor, in accordance with
the warnings and precautions appearing on the relative containers.
28.0 - SEASONAL DISUSE
At the end of the season, or in the event that a stoppage of more than one month is
envisaged, it is advisable to proceed as follows:
28.1 - wash and dry the equipment, paying particular attention to removing residues
of fertilizers or chemical products.
28.2 - check and if necessary, renew damaged or worn parts.
28.3 - grease thoroughly, store the equipment in a dry area and protect it with a
tarpaulin. Apply a thin layer of lubricant to the parts not protected by galvanization or
paint.
28.4 - Position the equipment as indicated in point 8.0.
The advantages which derive from complying with the above recommendations are
exclusively of benefit to the user, who will then find the equipment in excellent condition
when it is next required.
