MAINTENANCE 

 

7.1 

MAINTENANCE DIRECTIONS 

 
All cleaning, lubrication and maintenance operations must be carried out with the machine disconnected from 
the tractor. In an emergency with the machine still connected to the tractor, switch off the engine, apply the 
parking brake, disengage the power takeoff and remove the ignition key from the instrument panel. 
Regular,  correct  maintenance  and  proper  operation  are  the  basic  prerequisites  for  the  long-term  efficiency 
and safe operation of the machine. 
Pay special attention to all instructions given on signs located on the machine. 
All maintenance should be carried out in an area having the proper equipment readily available and in good 
condition. This area must always be kept clean and dry and must, have enough surrounding space to facili-
tate operations. 
Any work must be carried out by trained personnel. Contact the dealer nearest to you. 
Respect the warnings and procedures for maintenance and technical assistance given in this manual. 
Do not use petrol, solvents or other flammable liquids as deterrents. 
Use commercial non-flammable and non-toxic solvents, authorized by competent bodies. 
Do not use compressed air or water at high pressure to clean the machine. If this is unavoidable, then wear 
goggles with side protection and limit the pressure as much as possible. When the work is finished, and with 
the machine disconnected from the tractor, inspect and check the machine completely.
