Lubricate all lubrication points until bearings or friction surfaces are filled with grease.
Remove any grease residues. Excessive grease causes dust and soil particles to coat.

Worn out components
Cutting working parts (share point, plough share, mouldboard shin) should be used only
till the cutting element is levelled with the supporting element (plough
standard shoe). In
practice, these components should be replaced early on due to the quality of the work
done. The working parts which wear off (mouldboard, mouldboard extension, landside)
should be used only when their thickness is larger than 5 mm.
Share points are rotating parts. When their one
is worn out, the screws are unscrewed and the
share point is rotated by 180º.
The landsides used up to 5 mm at their ends may
be rotated in order to extend their service life. To
this end, rotate the unscrewed landsides by 180°.
Then transfer the landsides from the left
