MACHINE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
11 MACHINE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
Observe the safety instructions for treatment and maintenance.
• If it is necessary to weld during the repair and have the machine connected to the tractor, it
must have disconnected supply cables from the alternator and the accumulator.
• Check the tightening of all screw and other assembly connections at the machine before every
use of the machine, furthermore continuously as needed.
• Continuously check the wear of the working bodies of the machine, possibly replace these
worn working bodies with new ones.
• Adjustment, cleaning, and lubrication of the machine may only be performed with the
machine at rest (i.e. the machine is standing and not working).
• When working on a lifted machine, use suitable support equipment supported at marked
points or at points suitable for that.
• During adjustment, cleaning, maintenance, and repair of the machine, you must secure those
parts of the machine that could endanger the operator by falling or another movement.
• For catching the machine during handling using lifting equipment, use only the places marked
with self-adhesive labels with the chain sign.
• Upon a failure or damage of the machine, immediately turn off the tractor's engine and secure
against restarting, secure the machine against movement — only then you can remove the
failure.
• During repairs of the machine, use exclusively the genuine spare parts, suitable tools and
protective equipment.
• Regularly check the prescribed pressure in tyres of the machine and the condition of the tyres.
Repair the tyres in a professional workshop.
• After the first 20 hours of operation, check all the mechanical parts connected with bolts.
• Lubricate the machine in the lubrication points according to the lubrication chart (Chapter 13).
• Check the wear and tear of the working tools from time to time. If worn and torn excessively,
replace them by new ones.
• The working tools of the machine are provided with hardened metal layers welded on them.
After the hardened metal layers are worn and torn, they can be replaced by new ones.
• Keep the machine clean.
Do not clean hydraulic cylinders and bearings with a high-pressure cleaner or direct water
stream. The seals and bearings are not watertight at high pressure.
