– classification ISO

Maintenance schedule
After the first two hours' operation from new (or after fitting new belts) check belt tension.
Subsequently and regularly after every 8 hours' operation:
a) Check and if necessary tighten all nuts and bolts,
b) Check for wear and the condition of all flails.
c) Check the condition of the safety guards.
d) Check the condition and tightness of the drive belts
e) Visually check the cowl and linkage to detect any possible damage caused by earlier
work.
f) Check gearbox and drive tube lubricating levels.
g) Grease the locations shown in figure 6.1.1. (Greasing decals not illustrated)
Figure 6.1.1
– Guards are removed for clarity
These operations must always be carried out at the end of each working day. This
facilitates the removal of mud or other material from the rotating parts (bearing, pins etc.)
in order to avoid rust and possible seizure.
Every 100 hours' operation grease the moving parts of the PTO shaft, extracting the two parts of
the shaft.
After long inactivity, repeat the operation before re-using the machine.
