4.0 MAINTENANCE
Here follows a list of various maintenance operations to be carried
out periodically. Lowered operating costs and a longer lasting
seeding machine depend, among others, on the methodical and
constant observation of mese rules.
CAUTION
- The maintenance periods listed in this booklet are only indi-
cative and are for on normal conditions on use, therefore be
varied depending the kind of service, the more or less dusty
surroundings, seasonal factors, etc. For more serious
conditions of service, maintenance will logically be done more
often.
- Before injecting grease, the nipples must be cleaned to avoid
mud, dustand foreign bodies from mixing with the grease,
otherwise they will reduce or even annul the effect of the
lubrication.

- Always read warnings and precautions indicated on the
containers carefully.

- After use wash the equipment thoroughly.
- Treat the used oils and polluting liquids in conformity with the

5.0 DEMOLITION AND DISPOSAL
This operation is to be carried out by the customer.
Before demolishing the machine, you are advised to carefully
check its physical condition and ascertain whether there are any
parts of the structure that may be susceptible to structural collapse
or breakage during demolition.
The customer should operate in compliance with the environment
protection laws in force in his/her country.
CAUTION
The machine demolition operations should be carried out by
skilled personnel only, equipped with suitable protective
clothing (safety footwear and gloves) and auxiliary tools and
equipment.
CAUTION
All the disassembly operations for demolition should be carried
out with the machine stopped and detached from the tractor.
Before demolishing the machine, you are advised to render
harmless all the parts that may be a source of danger and
therefore:
- scrap the structure using specialized firms,
- remove any electrical apparatus according to the laws in force,
- collect oils and greases separately, to be disposed of through
specialized firms, in accordance with the regulations of the
