MAINTENANCE
Maintenance is a fundamental operation to extend life and performances of any agricultural implement;
taking care of the machine grants you not only a good work condition, but also a longer life of the equip-

The operating times indicated in this manual have just an informative character and are referred to nor-
mal conditions of use; they can thus undergo variations according to the type of service, to the more or
less dusty environment, to seasonal factors, etc.
