MACHINE MAINTENANCE
All maintenance, cleaning and repair operations must be carried out with the
shredder firmly lowered to the ground and detached from the tractor, or with the PTO
disconnected, engine off and starting key out.
This operation must be always carried out at the end of each working day. This
facilitates the removal of mud or other material form the rotating parts (bearing, pins,
etc.) in order to avoid rust and possible seizure.
After long inactivity, repeat the operation before re-using the machine.
The table shows the greasing points for regular and periodical maintenance
(Figure 42).
After the first 2 hours’ operation from new (or
after fitting new belts), check belt tension
regularly, every 10 -15 hours operation:
•
Tighten bolts and nuts.
•
Check wear and condition of flails
•
Check the safety guards
•
Check belt stretch and condition
•
Visually check the frame and arms to detect
possible damage caused by earlier work
•
Check gearbox and extension lubricating
levels (see Figure 40)
•
Grease the parts on the appropriate decal
(Figure 41)
