Plow maintenance
NOTE Use Civemasa original parts only.
Switch off the tractor completely, brake and use the chocks in the tires. Immobilize the
equipment firmly before making any maintenance.
Do not carry out any repair on the hydraulic system if it is pressurized or if the cylinders
are under load; a serious accident may result from this unsafe act.
During offseason wash the plow, repair the damaged painting, protect the moldboards
with oil, lubricate all grease fittings and store it in a covered and dry location, avoiding
contact with the soil.
The blades and the polyethylene plates must be replaced as soon as you notice an
excessive wear.
After some hours of operation, the bolts on the plow must be checked to see if they are
properly tightened. To assure a great performance and avoid wear and rupture, these bolts
must be tightened every so often.
Check the moving parts for wear occurence. Replace them, if necessary.
Replace the missing or damaged safety decals. Civemasa supplies these decals, upon
request and indication of their respective serial numbers. The operator must know the need
and importance to keep the decals in the proper place and in good conditions. The operator
also have to know the need to follow the instructions, as the lack of safety may increase the
risk of accidents.
