Maintenance and Servicing
Observe all safety instructions for
maintenance and servicing.
Your machine has been designed and
constructed to offer maximum performance,
efficiency and user-friendliness according to a
multitude of operating conditions.
Your machine has been checked at the factory
and by your appointed authorized dealer prior to
delivery in order to determine that the machine is
in perfect condition. The recommended
maintenance and servicing schedule should be
carried out at regular intervals in order to
maintain failure-free operation.
Cleaning
The recommended cleaning and maintenance
schedule should be carried out at regular
intervals in order to maintain operational
availability and guarantee optimum
performance.
Do NOT clean electrical
components. The hydraulic
cylinders and bearings should
not be cleaned with a high-
pressure cleaner or direct water
jet. The seals and bearings are
not waterproof under high
pressure.
•
Clean the outside of the machine with
water.
• Empty and dismantle the metering unit,
clean with compressed air and brush and
check for wear.
• Clean dry product tank(s) and
tubes/hoses with compressed air and
brush.
• When using liquid fertilizer, clean and
rinse the tank and hoses with water
thoroughly. These substances are highly
abrasive and can cause corrosion.
Maintenance Periods
The maintenance intervals are determined by
various different factors.
Various operating, weather and soil conditions,
as well as working speeds, affect the mainte-
nance intervals, but also the quality of the
lubricants and cleaning agents used, determines
the time interval required until the next period for
scheduled maintenance.
The specified maintenance intervals can
therefore only be regarded as an indication.
The intervals of maintenance work affected have
to be adjusted to suit the conditions, should there
be any deviations from normal operating
conditions.
Regular maintenance forms the basis for a
serviceable machine. Serviced machines lower
the risk of malfunctions and guarantee the
efficient application and operation of machines.
Before working on or crawling
under machine, insert safety
stops and follow all noted safety
guidelines.
See Maintenance Schedule on the following
pages.
Storage
Should the machine not be used for a longer
period of time, follow these steps:
• If possible, store the machine under a
roofed area and secure it against rolling.
• Completely empty and clean tanks and
meters.
• Unplug job computers and store in dry
place.
• Remove metering units and store in dry
place.
• Don’t rest machine on firming wheels.
Lift and lock these up.
• Relieve closing wheels from any load.
• Protect the machine against rust. Only
spray with biologically degradable oils,
i.e. rapeseed oil.
