MACHINE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRSE
12 MACHINE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRSE
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.
• Keep the machine clean.
• Tightening torques for wearing parts of the ploughshare are shown in Fig. 9.
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.
