CLEANING
Never use high pressure water to clean parts of weighing system. Remember to remove
remaining of the fodder containing grain seeds enriched with caustic soda that is located on the
external parts of the machine. After cleaning the machine with pressurized water, make sure that it
did not get to the oil.

LUBRICATING
Make sure that the machine was properly lubricated before turning it on.
Lubricant type: High quality universal lubricant.
PTO should be lubricated once a week. Pay attention to PTO’s profile sliding tubes. They
must be able to perform longitudinal moves, even at high torques. Failing to lubricate profile pipes
will result in great increase of axial force which in turn may damage the power take-off and other
transmission shafts.
To make sure that the power take-off is working properly,
check PTO’s cross brace
lubrication every 14 days
. In order to do so, or to lubricate it, unlock the guards from both sides
(
Fig. 10
).
