Maintenance
NOTE The suitable level is when the oil reaches the hole of the plug, being the disk
harrow in a flat place.
The oil volume on the DM bearings is 600 ml (GAPCR).
The grease volume on the CM bearings is 800 g (GAPCR).
The oil volume on the DM bearings is 980 ml (GASPCR).
The grease volume on the CM bearings is 1000 g (GASPCR).
To reduce the wear caused by the friction between the moving parts of the disk harrow,
it is necessary to carry out a correct lubrication, as described below.
1) Every 24 operating hours, lubricate the articulations through the grease fittings in
the following way:
• Be sure about the lubricant quality, with relation to its efficiency and purity, avoiding
the use of products contaminated by water, earth and others.
• Remove the remainder old grease around the articulations.
• Clean the grease fittings with a cloth before inserting lubricant and replace the
damaged ones.
• Apply an enough amount of new grease.
• Use medium consistency grease.
2) The lubrication of the roller bearing should be done in the same aforementioned
period. (24 hours).
2.1) The roller bearings with oil bath work in constant lubrication, but it is still necessary
to give them the following attention:
• In a flat place, check the oil level of each bearing before using the disk harrow for
the first time and every day of the first week.
• Then, start to check weekly.
• Change all the oil every 1,000 working hours.
• Use only SAE 90 mineral oil.
