MAINTENANCE
Good machine maintenance ensures good operation and
long-lasting life.
THESE OPERATION MUST BE PERFORMED WITH
THE TRACTOR ENGINE FULLY OFF AND WITH
THE KEY OFF THE IGNITION CONTACT.
The following chart shows the maintenance tasks to be per-
formed in the machine and their
illustrative frequency

9.2 SEED DRILLER CLEANING
The seed driller can be washed with a water jet or, prefer-
ably, with a high-pressure cleaner. Let the seed driller dry
before greasing or lubrication in order to avoid rusting in
mechanical parts.
Start the turbine for some minutes for extracting the humid-
ity remaining in the pneumatic circuit.
It is possible that some foreign objects remain clogged in-
side some machine parts during the works. Take any foreign
object out and verify that it has not causes any damage.
WHENEVER YOU CLEAN THE MACHINE WITH
COMPRESSED AIR, USE THE CORRESPONDING
PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT, PPE, (SEE
SECTION 9. MAINTENANCE).
9.3 SCREW JOINTS
All seed driller joints must be checked; if necessary tighten
the necessary joints.
AFTER THE FIRST 10 MACHINE OPERATION
HOURS, IT IS ADVISABLE TO TIGHTEN THE
SCREWS.
9.4 LUBRICATION AND GREASING
Any non-painted metallic component is exposed to atmos-
pheric and weather factors, causing oxidation. Therefore,
dully lubrication and greasing of these components is im-
portant. The machine has stickers with the symbols for the
points to GREASE (Fig. 91) and LUBRICATE (Fig, 92).
Fig. 91 Fig. 92
BEFORE LUBRICATING AND GREASING THE MA-
CHINE, WASH THE SEED DRILLER FOR TAKING
OUT THE SOIL REMAINING AFTER OPERATION
(SEE SECTION 9.1 FREQUENCY OF INTERVEN-
TIONS).
NEVER LUBRICATE THE SEED OR FERTILIZER
DISPENSER.
SOME GREASING POINTS MUST BE GREASED
AFTER 20 OR 50 OPERATION HOURS. THE
NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THESE NORMS MAY
DAMAGE THE MACHINE.
USE SOLID CALCIUM GREASE IN GREASING
POINTS.
USE HEAVY-DUTY OILS FOR CHAINS IN LUBRI-
CATING POINTS.
GREASE the following points:
- Track markers.
- Bushes in flotation, transmission and depth con-
trol wheels.
- Joints
- Transmission components.
