a)
Stop the tractor level
b)
Rest the shredder on the ground
c)
Use the handbrake
d)
Remove the power take-off
e)
Switch off the tractor’s engine.
f)
Wait approximately 3 minutes until all of the shredder’s moving organs are at a complete
halt.
For specific maintenance or repair operations in which it is necessary to raise the machine
from the ground or tip it, the use of equipment adapted to this scope is indispensable.
It is advisable to always contact your area dealer or a suitably equipped mechanical office.
The machine weights are shown in point 2 of this manual.
Before carrying out any interventions on machine parts which may reach high temperatures,
such as the multiplier, the bearings, the belts, etc, ensure that they have cooled sufficiently
before handling. The cooling time of these parts depends upon the work carried out prior to
stopping and the external atmospheric conditions.
4.7.1. Maintenance
Given that all of the shredders are consigned greased and lubricated, listed below are a number of
rules which must be strictly adhered to in order to ensure that the best results are obtained.
a)
After the first hour of operation
- Check the tightness of all of the screws.
b)
Daily
- Check the oil level of the transmission box.
- Lubricate the cardan joint (see the instruction book specifically relevant to the cardan)
ATTENTION : usually the cardan joint is supplied by Falc and it is suitable for the effective
power necessary for the tractor-shredder coupling. In case of replacement never use a cardan
joint with less features than the original.
c)
Every 8 working hours (use EP2-NLGI2 lithium grease)
- Grease the rotor bearings using the appropriate greasers clearly indicated on the machine.
Grease with moderation introducing a little grease at a time.
- Lubricate all of the points indicated on the machine with grease.
d)
Every 8 working hours
- Check the tension of the belts in order to avoid their rapid wear and that of the pulleys. The
tension is correct when the belt is lowered a maximum of 10 mm when the centre line point
between the pulleys is pressed.
e)
Every 8 working hours
- Check the tightness of the nut coupled to the hammer holder pin.
f)
Every 300 working hours
- Replace the oil in the transmission box.
- Check to ensure that the bleeder plug of the multiplier is not internally clogged with dust or
earth. If in doubt replace the bleeder plug.
The transmission box is lubricated with MobilGear 634/SAE 140 when delivered.
ATTENTION: do not disperse used oil but place it in the organs predisposed for its disposal.
g)
IMMEDIATELY STOP THE SHREDDER AND REMOVE THE POWER TAKE-OFF
if
vibrations are felt during work. Check for any breakage or excessive wear of the knives or the
hammers. Carry out a partial or total replacement of these if necessary, taking care to maintain
the absolute balance of the rotor by replacing both the broken knives (hammers) as well as
those diametrically opposite.
