MAINTENANCE

9- MAINTENANCE

IN CASE OF MALFUNCTION, STOP THE SEED

DRILL IMMEDIATELY AND REMOVE THE IGNI-

TION KEY. LEAVE THE TRACTOR AND VISUALLY

INSPECT AND EVALUATE THE EXTENT OF THE

PROBLEM. PERFORM THE REQUIRED OPERA-

TIONS ON THE SEED DRILL BEFORE RESTAR-

TING IT.

MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS MUST BE PER-

FORMED IN PROPERLY EQUIPPED GARAGES BY

QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

NO REPAIRS SHOULD BE PERFORMED WITHOUT

THE NECESSARY SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE. IT IS

ESSENTIAL THAT THE INSTRUCTIONS DETAILED

IN THIS MANUAL ARE STRICTLY FOLLOWED. IF

THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE MISSING, PLEASE

CONTACT THE SEED DRILL’S PROVIDER OR QUA-

LIFIED PERSONNEL.

IN ORDER TO PERFORM MAINTENANCE OR RE-

PAIR OPERATIONS TO THE SEED DRILL, IT IS ES-

SENTIAL TO USE PROPER PERSONAL PROTEC-

TIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE): SAFETY BOOTS AND

GLOVES, HEARING PROTECTION, DUST MASK

AND PROTECTIVE GLASSES).

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO AVOID WEARING LOO-

SE CLOTHING SINCE IT MAY BECOME TANGLED

WITH THE SEED DRILL’S MOVING PARTS.

Before performing any task on the machine, it is essential to

take into account the following factors:

- Maintaining or repairing the seed drill should be performed

on a flat and compact ground. Before starting any of these

tasks, the tractor’s engine must be turned off and the igni-

tion key removed.

- The chosen device to raise the seed drill needs to be appro-

priate for the operations to be performed. Please ensure that

all safety regulations are observed.

- Always use appropriate protective equipment for any task to

be performed.

- In case compressed air is used to clean the seed drill, or an

airbrush is used to paint any seed drill’s part, you are requi-

red to wear protective glasses and mask.

- If any operation needs to be performed on a part of the

machine which is at more than 1,5 metres height from the

ground, check if it is possible to reach this part using the

seed drill’s access points (seed drill’s access ladder). If not

possible, use either a ladder or a platform which is in accor-

dance with the current safety regulations.

- Prolonged and/or repetitive skin contact with fuel and lubri-

cants is harmful. In case these products come accidentally

into contact with the eyes or other sensitive parts, wash well

the affected parts with clean water. In case of ingestion, con-

tact the medical services immediately.

9.1 CHECKING FREQUENCY

The frequency of the checks indicated below is provided as a

guideline. It may vary depending on machine application and

use, environment, temperature, weather conditions, etc.

- BEFORE STARTING THE SOWING SEASON

Check the general operation of the seed drill. Perform this

check without any seeds inside the hopper.

Check that the plastic components of the seed drill are in

good condition. The wear of this material due to natural age-

ing or to the presence of rodents causes damages to these

components.

Check that the mechanical components are in good condition

and not rusty.

Clean the parts of the seed drill which are permanently in con-

tact with seeds, such as hoppers and metering units.

Check that the signal lamps work properly.

Check that the unions and the ducts of the hydraulic system

do not show oil leaks.

- PERIODICALLY

Before washing the seed drill with water, check that no seeds

or fertilizer are inside the hoppers or the metering units. After

washing the machine, turn on the fan for some minutes in or-

der to remove the moisture from the metering units and the

suction system.

Check that all the screws are in good condition, especially the

ones which are in contact with the ground. Tighten every sin-

gle screw and bolt.

Check that the metering units and the suction system do not

contain any residue (such as seed or fertilizer residue, dust,

etc). Residue accumulation may damage the suction system.

- END OF SOWING SEASON

Wash the seed drill well with a lot of water, making sure that no

seeds, fertilizer or other products remain inside the hoppers, me-

tering units or ducts. Wash especially the parts of the seed drill

which are in contact with chemical products.

Properly lubricate the moving parts of the seed drill (see section

9.4 GREASING AND LUBRICATION).

Repaint any metallic component which has lost its paint due to

wear.

To store the seed drill properly, cover it with tarpaulin and keep

it in a dry place.

Thoroughly check all components of the seed drill and replace

the ones which are damaged or worn.

KEEP THE SOWING EQUIPMENT CLEAN. THE

ACCUMULATION OF EARTH, STONES, GRASS,

ETC. MAY BLOCK THE SOWING DUCTS.
