Drill lubrication
The modern constructions have reduced the need of lubrication to a minimum without
having diminished the durability of the machine.
Lubrication points:
Right end of the machine
•
The roll chains of the transmission must be lubricated every 25 operating hours
with SAE 10 or SAE 20 oil.
•
The upper end of the wheel support bar is lubricated yearly with universal grease
(1 nipple).
Left end of the machine
•
The upper end of the wheel support bar is lubricated yearly with universal grease
(1 nipple).
Area meter transmission
•
The roll chain is lubricated with SAE 10 or SAE 20 oil every 25 operating hours.
Adjustment of fertilizer placement depth
•
The threads in the upper end of the adjusting screw are lubricated with oil twice a
year after sowing periods.
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 3.3,
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.
