- Apply grease to all nipples on the machine (fig. 14).
When greasing the gearboxes, keep turning the rotors bit by bit
to ensure the grease is distributed effectively all over the gears.

Periodic maintenance
Periodic maintenance must be carried out:
• at the start of the haymaking season;
• before prolonged storage of the machine;
• when the machine is used extensively during the season.
- Grease all points of the machine listed in § 7.2 “Lubrication”.
- Grease the spring-loaded locking pins of the yoke lock of the PTO
shaft.
- Check if the PTO shafts telescope smoothly.
A damaged PTO shaft may cause excessive wear and tear to the
machine and tractor.
- Check the machine for any damage and flaws.
- Check the gearbox for any oil leaks.
(Changing of grease: see § 7.4.)
- Check the tyre pressure (fig. 15).
- Check all bolts and nuts for tightness.
Tighten loose bolts/nuts to the torques specified below.
- Check the rotors for sagging (fig. 16).
• Place the machine on a level floor.
• To adjust the outermost rotors, place the 6 central wheels on an
elevation of 30 mm; to adjust the second-to-most exterior rotor,
only the 4 central wheels need to be placed on an elevation.
• Ensure the machine is horizontal.
• The stop bolts (fig. 16) should then only just touch the stops.
