MAINTENANCE
E1 Maintenance instructions
The Manufacturer has drawn up a rake maintenance schedule based on
functional tests. This schedule, if followed assiduously by the Customer,
can maintain the rake’s working efficiency and capacity without risk of
damage. The operator, who must be a qualified technician of working age,
must follow these rules:
-
All maintenance and repairs must never be left unfinished or
postponed;
-
The operator must never rely on his memory alone, but always read
and follow the instructions in this manual without fail;
-
The operator must install a “Maintenance in progress” sign in a
prominent position on the tractor’s dashboard before starting work. This
ensures the operator’s safety and can prevent damage to the rake.
-
All maintenance must be carried out on a flat and well lit surface, with
the rake standing in a stable position and the tractor at standstill, with
the parking brake applied, the engine off and the keys removed from
the ignition;
-
Tools for maintenance must be used in accordance with relative
accident prevention regulations. Equipment must not, therefore, be put
to improper use, e.g. do not use petrol instead of detergent, or pliers
instead of a wrench;
-
Only use spare parts that are type approved or recommended by the
Manufacturer.
After maintenance or repairs, always clear the area of any water, oil,
grease, dirty cloths, tools and any other material.
IMPORTANT
Take extra care when checking for leaks of pressurized fluid as the fluid
can leak out of tiny, virtually invisible holes, burn through skin and cause
serious infections. You must therefore use safety glasses with side
protection and a piece of cardboard or wood to look for leaks.
E2 Scheduled maintenance
Scheduled maintenance is purely informative and depends on normal
operating conditions. It may therefore differ in relation to the type of
service, working environment (which may be dusty), the season, etc.
Maintenance should be stepped up the tougher the machine’s operating
conditions.
E2.1 Daily checks
Checks to be carried out on a daily basis before starting work:
-
Check condition of all the fittings (tightness of connections,
condition of sleeves and leaks or overflowing of hydraulic oil);
E2.2 Checks on a weekly basis or per 50 hours’ operation
Checks to be carried out on a weekly basis or per 50 hours’
operation:
-
Check condition of all the labels;
-
Check condition of all the fittings (tightness of connections,
condition of sleeves and leaks or overflowing of hydraulic oil);
-
Check the fasteners and safety devices are all fitted and in
good condition;
-
Make sure all the nuts and bolts are properly fastened;
-
Check condition of the entire structure.
E3 Lubrication
To top up the greasers, remove their protection caps (if
present), remove all traces of dust and then use the
pump to inject the grease. Afterwards, use a cloth to
remove any excess grease on the greasers. Use a
brush to apply grease wherever there aren’t any
greasers.
Use only the type of grease recommended by the
Manufacturer. All the top-up points are marked with
labels like the one illustrated.
IMPORTANT
To avoid pollution, it is strictly forbidden to dispose of oil, lubricants, filter
cartridges or other noxious materials in the environment. Comply with all
regulations in force on the disposal of liquid and solid substances.
