4.9 Parking the machine (long term)
In order to avoid damage as a result of
moisture or ultra-violet sunlight rays, the
machine or component should be parked, if
possible, indoors or under cover.
When manoeuvring the
machine, pay attention to
your surroundings.
Ensure that nobody is in
the manoeuvring area
(watch for children!).
• Park the machine on level and solid ground.
• Lower the machine onto its parking stand
ensuring that it is stable when unhitching from
a tractor pick-up hitch.
• Ensure undue weight is not applied through
the tines if parked unfolded (for example, with
tractors not having a pick-up hitch).
4.10 Checks
The working quality depends on the
adjustments and checks made prior to and
during work, as well as on regular servicing
and maintenance of the machine.
Before beginning work it is therefore
important to carry out any necessary
servicing and to lubricate the machine as
required.
Checks prior to, and during work:
• Is the machine correctly installed?
• Is the machine correctly hitched up and any
coupling device locked?
• Have any hydraulic lines been connected
according to the colour coding?
• Is the machine in a level operating position
and the working depth set correctly?
Working Elements
• Are the cultivation tools in a serviceable
condition?
• Are the scrapers (if fitted) still operable, so
that the rolls do not jam?
• Are the DD axles tight to avoid wear?
5. Servicing and Maintenance
Follow the safety instructions for
servicing and maintenance.
5.1 Servicing
Your machine has been designed and
constructed for maximum performance,
operational efficiency and operator
friendliness under a wide variety of operating
conditions.
Prior to delivery, your machine has been
checked at the factory and by your authorised
dealer to ensure that you receive a machine
in optimum condition.
To ensure trouble-free operation, it is
important that servicing and
maintenance work is performed at
the recommended intervals.
5.2 Cleaning
In order to ensure that the machine is always
in operating condition and to achieve
optimum performance, perform the cleaning
and servicing work at regular intervals.
Avoid cleaning the roll / disc bearings with a
high- pressure hose or a direct water jet. The
housing, screwed connections and ball
bearings are not watertight.
5.3 DD Light Roll
The spacers and rings on the DD Light Roll
are held under tension by the end plates at
the outer ends of the roll tube.
Specialist equipment is
required for the
disassembly of DD Light
rollers. Please consult
your dealer under any
circumstances that
require disassembly of these rollers.
Maintenance of these rollers is
limited to yearly/end of season
greasing of the bearings
and regular inspection to ensure the
assemblies are tight, and scrapers are
correctly set.
