5.0.1 WHEN THE MACHINE IS NEW
- Grease all parts indicated by transfer nr. 14 (‘GRASE’) at page
45 of this leaflet.
- Lubricate all the transmission chains with mineral oil (SAE
80W/90).
- After the first hours of work check that all the bolts are still tight.
WARNING! Do not over-tighten the screws holding the case
(10, Fig. 35). It should be able to oscillate.
5.0.2 AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEEDING SEASON
- Check the pressure of the tyres (see technical data table).
- Lubricate all the transmission chains with mineral oil (SAE
80W/90).
- Check the fixing and the state of wear of all the suction tubes
and the delivery tubes for fertilizer and other chemical products.
- Run the seeding machine loadless, the airflow clears the pipes
of condensation and removes any impurities.
- Check the tensioning of the aspirator belt (Fig. 23).
5.0.3 EVERY EIGHT HOURS OF OPERATION
- Grease the pin of the seeding depth control wheels (1, Fig. 53).
- Lubricate all the transmission chains with mineral oil (SAE
80W/90).
- Grease the universal joint spiders.
- Grease the bevel gear pair of the cardan shaft of the planting
units (2, Fig. 53).
- Grease the frame (5, Fig. 54)
5.0.4 EVERY FIFTY HOURS OF OPERATION
- Inspect the condition of the seed plates; if any of the pegs are
missing or bent, replace the plate with an original spare; if
there are circular scratches on the plates they must not exceed
1/3 of the disc thickness.
- Clean the seed distributor carefully and thoroughly; replace the
cover seal if necessary.
- Check the tensioning of the aspirator belt (Fig. 23).
- Make sure the toothed wheels are properly aligned and the
transmission chains are tensioned to prevent them from
wearing out in little time or a failure affecting the transmission
parts.
- Check that all the bolts are still tight.
- Grease all the joints of the row marker.
5.0.5 EVERY SIX MONTHS
- Oil the height adjuster screw the depht wheels (2-3, Fig. 53).
- Grease the drive wheel oscillating bearings.
5.0.6 PERIODICALLY
- Check the pressure of the seed drill tyres (see «
1.3 Technical
Data
»).
5.0.7 EVERY FIVE YEARS
- To replace all the tubes of the hydraulic systems.
5.0.8 EVERY 400 WORKING HOURS
- Change the speed change gear oil completely with SAE30-type
oil (3,5 Kg).
5.0.9 REST PERIODS
At the end of the season, or if a long period of rest is foreseen it
is advisable to:
- Wash the equipment thoroughly with water, especially the
chemical substance hoppers, then dry them. Clean the
electrical components only with a dry cloth.
- Carefully check for worn or damaged parts and replace then
where required.
- Check the state of wear of the transmission chains and toothed
wheels. Replace damaged or worn out parts, if required. Use
solvent to clean the transmission chains, the toothed wheels
and the chain stretchers. Lubricate with mineral oil (SAE 80W/
90) when dry.
- Adjust the belt of the diffusion air pump and and replace it if
necessary.
- Firmly tighten all screws and bolts.
- Apply protecting oil to all unpainted parts.
- Protect the equipment with a (nylon) cover.
- Then position it stably in a dry place out of the reach of
unauthorized people
It is in the interests of the user to follow these instructions carefully,
