18. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS OF THE MACHINE
Observe the safety instructions for maintenance and treatment.

Only persons according to Chapter A.3/p. 9 may perform repairs of the machine. When leaving the tractor
cabin, the operator must switch off all hydraulic circuits and appliances on the machine (ventilator) and the
engine and the operator must prevent unauthorized access to the tractor.

The replacement of worn discs can only be executed when the machine is standing still (not operating).
 If you have to use welding during a repair and have the machine connected to the tractor, make sure that all
supply cables are disconnected from the alternator and accumulator.

Check that all screws and other assembly points are tight before each use of the machine and whenever
needed.
 Regularly check the wear and tear of the working parts of the machine or replace the worn working parts
with new ones.

Adjusting, cleaning and lubricating the machine may only be performed when the machine is standing still
(the machine is stopped and is not working).
 When the machine is lifted, use an appropriate supporting device propped at designated places or at
appropriate places.
 When adjusting, cleaning, maintaining and repairing the machine, secure those parts of the machine that
could put the operator in danger by fall or other movement.

Repairs of the hydraulic circuits may be performed only when the machine is unfolded and resting on the
working bodies on the ground.
 When repairing the hydraulic circuits of the machine, first remove pressure from the hydraulic circuits of the
machine with the use of control levers of the hydraulic system in the tractor cabin.
 For attaching the machine when manipulating it with the use of lifting equipment, use only places marked by
stick-on labels with the symbol of a chain „
“.

If there is a defect or damage on the machine, immediately turn off the tractor engine and secure the engine
from turning on, secure the machine against movement

then you can remove the defect.
 When repairing the machine, use only original spare parts, suitable tools and protective equipment.
 Check the prescribed pressure in the tyres of the machine and the condition of the tyres regularly. Execute
potential repairs of tyres in a professional workshop.
 Keep the machine clean.
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner or direct water jet for cleaning hydraulic rolls (piston rod) and bearings and
electronic parts. The bearings and seals are not waterproof under high pressure.
18.1. REPLACEMENT OF WORN DISCS

When replacing discs, always observe safety regulations and directives.

The machine must be aggregated with the tractor according to Chapter “6.1/P.18” for the replacement of the
discs. The tractor engine must be switched off and the operator or the mechanic must prevent unauthorized
access to the tractor.

The machine must be lifted on the transport axle and in the arms of the tractor for the replacement of the
discs.

Raise the rear tractor TPS shoulders with the aggregated machine to the maximal position and secure it from
falling. Then you may perform the replacement of worn shares.

The ball valve of the axle must be in the “closed” position, see Picture 30/P.49. You must ensure mechanical
supports under the pole of the machine in case the tractor hydraulic system is not tight.

Only replace the discs on a firm and flat ground and when the machine is in standstill.
