Maintenance
Before working on the attached implement, switch
off the engine and remove the ignition key.
DO NOT work under a raised implement.
If the implement needs to be raised, take adequate
precautions to prevent the implement from dropping
by accident.
Before working on the hydraulic system, completely
lower the implement in its folded out position and
release any hydraulic pressure.
Dispose of used oil correctly (hydraulic oil is
mineral-based).
After initial use (approx. 8 h), retighten all screws
and bolts and then re-check their tightness at
regular intervals.
Grease the folding frame bearing and crumbling roller
bearing at regular intervals (universal lithium-based
grease).
Daily:
tow rod guides (
10/1
), spring-mounted track
loosener (
10/2
).
Ensure all linkages are moving freely.
Readjust the stop screws, if required. The side
frame should run parallel to the centre section (
11/1
or
12/1
) and be folded in (
11/2
or
12/2
).
Check the hydraulic hose regularly for signs of
damage or brittleness and replace as required (see
list of spare parts). These hoses are subject to a
natural ageing process and should in any case be
replaced after 5-6 years, regardless of their apparent
condition.
Avoid directing the hose ”at the bearings” for any
length of time when cleaning the implement with
high-pressure water.
With the implement parked, apply a corrosion-
prevention agent to all tools and conserve the piston
rods with acid-free grease.
Touch up any chipped or damaged paintwork.
Replace worn shares immediately, or turn twin-core
shares around. (
Use original spares only
).
