PUTTING THE MACHINE INTO SERVICE
59
Before using the machine after a long period of inactivity, carefully check
that the main components are working correctly.
In particular:
–
Check the wearing condition and the pressure of the tyres.
–
Check possible loss of liquids.
–
Check the general conditions of the hydraulic hoses.
–
Check the efficiency of all safety devices.
–
Check the oil level in the centralised lubrication system and, if nec-
essary, fill it up.
–
Lubricate all greasing points.
–
Carry out all the necessary maintenance operations.
–
Check that the cardan shaft is correctly installed; furthermore, all pro-
tections must be undamaged and effective.
–
Check the tightening of the fastening screws for the main devices
(drawbar, towing eye, and wheel fastening nuts).
–
Couple the machine to the tractor (See "How to couple the machine
to the tractor").
–
Simulate some test manoeuvres to check coupling, correct operation
of the controls and functionality of operator units.
SPECIAL MAINTENANCE
60
–
Although the machine was designed and built to work in difficult en-
vironmental conditions, after a few years special maintenance must
be carried out to preserve perfect efficiency and guarantee general
safety.
–
The aforesaid interventions must be carried out by personnel with
precise technical skills, in workshops that are suitably equipped and
authorised by the manufacturer.
–
The flexible hoses in the hydraulic system must be replaced every 6
years from the date of production. These components are subjected
to stress due to ageing.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PART REPLACEMENT

Caution
Precaution
Except in case it is expressly specified, every intervention must be
performed with disengaged PTO and tractor engine off; further-
more, the ignition key must be removed and kept by the driver. The
personnel that are authorised to perform the interventions must
comply with all precautions that are necessary to assure the safety
of the people involved, in compliance with the requirements estab-
lished by the laws in force about occupational safety.
Before carrying out any replacement operation, activate all safety devic-
es and, if necessary, instruct the staff working on the machine or nearby.
