8.4 GREASING AND LUBRICATION
All metal components of the machine that are not painted
are exposed to atmospheric and climate factors, which may
cause rusting. Consequently, it is important to grease and
lubricate these parts properly. You will find stickers on the
machine with the symbols that indicate the points that must
be GREASED (Fig. 8.1) and LUBRICATED (Fig. 8.2).
Fig. 8.1
Fig. 8.2
THE SEED DRILL HAS SEVERAL GREASING
POINTS. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE
GREASING INSTRUCTIONS MAY CAUSE DAM-
AGE TO THE MACHINE.
BEFORE LUBRICATING AND GREASING THE MA-
CHINE, CLEAN THE SEED DRILL TO REMOVE ANY
SOIL LEFT AFTER WORKING
(SEE SECTION 8.1
FREQUENCY OF CHECKS).
DO NOT GREASE OR LUBRICATE THE SEED OR
FERTILIZER DISPENSER.
LUBRICATE
the drive chains. Remove the protective covers
to access them.
USE HIGH PERFORMANCE CHAIN OILS AT THE
LUBRICATION POINTS.
GREASE
the following points:
- Track markers.
- Floating wheel, transmission wheel and depth
control wheel hubs.
- Joints.
- Transmission components.
USE CONSISTENT CALCIUM-BASED GREASE
FOR THE POINTS TO BE GREASED.
8.5 TYRE PRESSURE
Check the air pressure in the tyres before using the seed drill.
In general and in poorly prepared soils, it is recommended
to lower the pressure in the floating and depth control tyres
slightly to compensate for uneven terrain and produce a
more uniform seeding.
IMPORTANT:
KEEP THE MACHINE'S TYRES IN
GOOD CONDITION, ESPECIALLY THE FLOATING
TYRES.
IMPORTANT:
WHEN TRANSPORTING THE MA-
CHINE ON PUBLIC HIGHWAYS, THE FLOATING
TYRES MUST HAVE THE AIR PRESSURE GIVEN IN
THE TABLE BELOW. OTHERWISE, THE MACHINE
MAY BE DAMAGED.
