Maintenance
Routine maintenance operations are listed below. More extensive maintenance operations (re-pairs of parts or
components) can be carried out by specialised personnel authorised by the manufacturer.
WARNING!
The schedule is for information purposes only and depends on normal operation conditions.
Conditions can in fact change depending on the service, the environment and on frequency of use. If
conditions are particularly awkward, the frequency of maintenance operations should be amended
accordingly.
WARNING!
It is mandatory
to make sure that the input PTO shaft connecting the gearbox of the
Mulcher is disconnected from the agricultural tractor PTO before starting any maintenance.
WARNING!
After maintenance, always restore any safety devices that may have been removed, so that
they are in place before new work is started.
It is recommended to always use oil of the same type and quality as used previously when
refilling or changing
the oil. Greasing points should be cleaned carefully before lubrication, to prevent mud, dust or foreign bodies
from mixing with the lubricant.

suitable physical and intellectual requirements.

It is mandatory
to verify that during maintenance or repair operations; unauthorised personnel are kept

to deactivate protection and safety devices. When it becomes necessary to deactivate
these devices in order to carry out more extensive maintenance, the operation must only be completed
for more extensive maintenance and only by a maintenance mechanic, who will guarantee operator
safety and avoid any damage to the machine, as well as restoring
the effectiveness of the same devices
at the end of maintenance operations.
•
It is mandatory
to switch the engine of the agricultural tractor which the Mulcher
is connected to off
before performing any maintenance or mechanical setting and disconnect the input PTO shaft.
•
It is recommended
to perform all maintenance that is not covered in this manual in an authorised
service centre.

Before restarting the Mulcher after lubrication and/or maintenance,
it is mandatory
to wait for the
authorization of the mechanical maintenance technician who must verify that:
-the works have been completed;
-the Mulcher works perfectly;
-the safety devices are in their correct place and fully functional;
-no other operations are being performed on the Mulcher.
