20. Drill maintenance
General
We would ask that you turn to your distributor for assistance with more demanding maintenance tasks. The
tasks listed below are those which often most conveniently performed on farm premises. Read the
instructions carefully. Following the instructions and your TUME drill will function impeccably year after
year. Non-compliance with the instructions will lead to the voiding of the warranty.
Machine lifting points are located on the front edge of the container in the tow-bar push-bar bracket hole
(1 point) and on the rear bridge, on the adjustment joint brackets (2 points). All three mounting points must
be used when lifting the machine in order to maintain stability.
The adjustment joint must be locked to
a rigid position with a flat bar during lifting (see Fig. 4).
We recommend using an optional lifting bar.
WARNING!
Always turn off the tractor engine before staring maintenance and set the hand brake.
Ensure that no other person is able to turn the engine on during maintenance or
actuate control equipment during maintenance or repair work.
WARNING!
When heated, coated surfaces may emit vapors that are harmful to human health. Ensure
that work premises are properly ventilated, for example during welding. Remove the paint
from surfaces to be welded!
WARNING!
Always close the safety valves of both lift cylinders in case the machine must be lifted
during maintenance, see Figs. 38–39. Never pass under a machine that is only supported
hydraulically.
