Maintenance
Multipliers and triple divider
Cardan shaft
Rotary cutter storage
• The multipliers and the triple divider must be inspect every time the rotary cutter is
about to operate. If the oil level is low, fill up the cutter.
• The oil level verification must be done in a flat place and adjusted according to the
indications of the marker.
• Do not pour oil over the level limit.
• The oil capacity of the triple divider is 2 liters and the multipliers are 2.5 liters each.
• Use oil SAE 90 only.
• Clean the cardan shaft every 15 days or before, if necessary.
• Remove the protection covers.
• Separate "male" and "female", wash to remove crusts and dry them. Then, lubricate
the moving parts with grease and assemble again.
Before storing the cutter, we recommend some precautions to preserve its properly
functioning and to let it ready for the next job.
• Remove all the residues that remain in the equipment after its use, such as grass,
dirt, culture debris and others.
• Wash the whole equipment to remove the dirty grease and the earth that accumulates
in the corners.
• Repair the missing painting if required.
• Clean and lubricate all the grease fittings until the fresh grease can be seen.
• Check the oil level of the multipliers and triple divider.
• Spray the equipment with penetrating or anti-corrosive oil.
• Check the blades, apply a layer of paint and protect them with protective oil. If
necessary, replace blades that are bent, excessively nicked or have any other
damage.
• Replace the missing or damaged safety stickers. Marchesan provides these stickers,
upon request and indication of the respective serial number. The operator must know
the need to keep these stickers in place and in good conditions. Also, the operator
must be aware that an accident can occur if the instructions are not followed.
• Keep the equipment in a sheltered and dry place, protected from direct sunlight and
rain, properly supported on the ground or easels.
