replacing the working knives should only be performed after removing the PTO drive shaft, with
the machine supported on hard ground or after setting the harrow on the trestles to prevent its
falling down.

connections of parts and assemblies.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR WORK BE CARRIED OUT, IF
THE SEED DRILL IS MOUNTED ON THE COUPLING
CAUTION !
Use typical protection hardware, such as pins and linchpins to secure the suspension journals and
all bolts included in the aggregate.
It is forbidden to use substitute means of protection, such as: screws, rods or wires, which during
work or transport may be sheared or fall out, and thus may cause damage to the tractor and the
cultivator unit, and to jeopardize the safety of other road users.
10.2. Storage
After the season of work, clean the unit thoroughly, and wash surfaces that are not subject to painting
(e.g. suspension journals) or components wiped by the wiping soil (working knives, steel shaft surf aces,
etc.) with Antykor kerosene and protected them against corrosion by coating with Antykor 1 grease.
The machine must be stored absolutely in its rest position. Lower a ll working assemblies to the ground
for good stability. We recommend storage of the machine in a covered place, and in closed rooms with
well-functioning ventilation. When stored in a non-roofed location, it is necessary to periodically top
up the lubricant on the components subject to preservation, due to the effects of atmospheric
precipitation.
Store the machine in locations inaccessible to unauthorized persons, especially children as well as pets.
Repair the local damage to the paint coating by re-coating them with paint.
11. Disassembly, Scrapping and Utilization
The user of the machine, in accordance with the environmental protection provisions, is obliged to
conduct proper waste management, agreed with the relevant local authorities.
