III.G TROUBLESHOOTING
During the operation of implement several problems can happen:
UNUSUAL NOISES
During working, if the implement produces unusual noises, the operator must
immediately stop it and follow these instructions:
•
Make sure that there are no broken/bent mechanical parts
•
Check that the gearbox contains the correct amount of oil
If the oil level is too low (please see the section “V - MAINTENANCE”), the gears
are not adequately lubricated and if the gearbox continues to rotate will determine
a significant increase in oil temperature. This will quickly produce damages to the
gears and bearings
•
Check tines conditions
If some of the tines are broken, bent or present excessive wear, the balance of
the rotor will be compromised. During working, the rotating movement of the rotor
will produce vibrations that will inevitably damage and break bearings and welded
parts of the frame. In order to avoid damages, please replace all the tines at the
same time with the new genuine ones supplied by SOVEMA
•
Check the lubrification of the gears contained in the box
As a consequence of inadequate lubrication, damage to some gears can occur in
short time. Continuing to work in this way can occur the block of the transmission
in short time
•
Check the lubrication and condition of the rotor shafts bearings
As a consequence of reduced lubrication, one or both the bearings supporting the
rotor shaft may have broken down. The rotor begins to oscillate producing
excessive vibrations against the frame, producing damages to the welded parts
of the frame
