5.1 Machine Lubrication
When working with lubricants, observe the basic hygiene regulations and observe the environmental protection
regulations and laws.
If you are not sufficiently manually skilled, have the operations done by an authorized service centre.
1.
The gearbox worm gears operate in their oil bath. In the case of new machines, replace oil after the first 10 hours of operation and then
after 100 hours or after the season. Check the oil condition once a month or before the machine’s use. Recommended oil MOGUL
TRANS 90H – 125 ml. Change warm oil - its draining from the gearbox will be easier. The draining and filling hole is at the bottom of
the gearbox (Fig. 16)
2.
Always after the season, remove the steering wheel (the wheel is secured with a screw ring and flat washer), clean and grease the pin
with grease, e.g. LV2-3, and replace the wheel.
5.2 Sharpening and Replacement of Working Knives
The knives are permanently attached to the star flange. They do not get sharpened, and we do not distinguish between left and the right
knives. If only one side features worn working knives, you may swap the stars from the left side to the right one, and vice versa.
Note: In the case of any unprofessional repair of any knives or stars, using non-original parts, the supplier is not liable for any machine
damages or damages caused by your machine.
If any knife cracks, immediately replace its corresponding star!

5.4 Storage
Prior to any long-term storage (e.g. at the season end) remove all the dirt and plant residues from the machine. Prevent unauthorized
persons from access to the machine. Protect your machine against climatic conditions, but do not use any impermeable protection to prevent
excessive corrosion of the machine.
Make sure the star working knives are not damaged. If so, replace them, please.
We strongly recommend the following steps:
Preserve the hoeing device stars.
Remove all the dirt and plant residues from the machine.
Repair any paint damage.
Lubricate the machine after the season.
5.4.1 Machine Washing and Cleaning
When washing and cleaning the machine, proceed so as to observe valid provisions and laws regarding protection of
water courses and other water resources against pollution or contamination by chemical agents.
Never wash the engine by a water jet! The engine electrical equipment might be damage after you start the
engine.
Do not clean your engine with any pressure washer.
