TYPICAL MAINTENANCE MEASURES
Drill lubrication
See annex 1
Roller chains can be lubricated based on circumstances either every 20-50 hours, or as needed. SAE 10W-
30 lubricant can for example be used. There are roller chains in the following locations:
1 unit inside the ground wheel arm, see Fig. 14
1 unit under the machine on the right-hand side
2 units under the cover on the right-hand side, see Fig. 22
Additional equipment (HS device, mixing shaft) roller chains on the right-hand side
Cassette gear, see Fig. 22, roller chains must be lubricated once every two years. The cassette
must be opened for lubrication. When assembling the cassette, attention care be taken to ensure
that the chain wheels are in their right positions. Simultaneously adjust the chain tightness and
lubricate the chain wheel bearings with Vaseline.
The sliding bearings of the support arms in supporting wheels should be lubricated with Vaseline
once annually. Each of these has a lubrication nipple on the lower side of the bearing tube.
The towing device mechanical / hydraulic push-bar adjustment screws and sowing coulter main adjustment
screw should be lubricated with lubricant and Vaseline once annually.
The bearings to the rear of the support wheels must be lubricated annually with Vaseline. JC 3000 8 nipples
and JC 4000 10 nipples.
The wheel level and the harrow joints must be lubricated annually by pouring oil onto the joint surfaces and
by oiling the nipples. The wheel axles should always be washed after seasonal use and treated with
moisture-resistant oil and rust preventatives. This will facilitate the disconnection of tire rods in the event
of tire damage.
Storage
When the machine is not in use, it should be stored in a covered space and fully maintained. Containers
should be emptied of fertilizer and seeds. See Section 8, Emptying the containers.
The machine must be washed internally and externally with water. Use high-pressure jets with care,
and do not aim the jet directly at the bearings. If the machine is equipped with a seed dressing
device, its containers must be dismantled and removed before washing or corrosion protection.
Lubricate the machine according to instructions. Withdraw the fertilizer tubes from the fertilizer
coulters for storage. Protect the machine against corrosion by spraying it for example with rust-
preventative oil, which will be easy to flush away before the next season.
The spring loading of the coulters should be adjusted to zero.
Defects detected during cleaning should be recorded. It is best to order spare parts in advance of the
season so that repairs can be performed in due time.
