If the belts show signs of deterioration (even of small entity), or if the belt tension
adjustment is not possible because of having reached the maximum limit of tensioning,
replace the belts. Before the replacement clean both pulleys from rubber residues.
A high number of worn belts in a short time is not normal. Please check that the rotor
rotates freely without obstacles blocking its movement
Make sure the knives are still sharp uniformly and that they do not show signs of cracks
or excessive wear. In case their replacement is needed, always use original knives
supplied by SOVEMA.
Check the oil level in the gearbox through the oil level plug placed on the side of the
gearbox (see fig. 4). In case a refill is needed, unplug the filler plug from the top of the
gearbox and proceed with the filling until the oil is visible again through the level plug.
