Care and
Maintenance
Follow the care and maintenance chart
Observe prescribed intervals for maintenance checks and inspections
specified in the operating manual. If these intervals are not complied
with, damage to the implement and accidents can be caused.
Use original parts
Many components have special properties that are decisive for the
stability and operability of the implement. Only those replacement
parts and accessories supplied by the manufacturer have been tested
and approved. Using other products may lead to malfunctions or re-
duce safety of operation. The use of non-OEM replacement parts
renders the manufacturer's guarantee null and void and frees the
manufacturer from all liability.
When performing care and maintenance work:
•
Switch off the cardan shaft drive.
•
Depressurise the hydraulic system.
•
Whenever possible, uncouple the tractor.
•
Switch off the electronic control system.
•
Switch off the tractor and remove the ignition key.
•
Ensure the implement is standing on firm, secure, level ground,
and provide additional support, if necessary.
•
Do not use parts of the implement as a climbing aid; use only a se-
cure means of access.
•
Secure the implement against rolling away (use wheel wedges).
Only if these regulations are complied with is safety ensured during
care and maintenance work.
Turn off the electrical supply
Prior to carrying out work on the electrical system, disconnect it from
the power supply. Equipment under electrical power can cause dam-
age to equipment and injury to persons.
Replace hydraulic tubes every six years
Hydraulic tubes can age without this being externally visible. We
therefore recommend replacing the hydraulic tubes every six years.
Defective hydraulic lines can cause serious or fatal injuries.
