Maintenance and inspections:
Maintenance and inspections on the underside of the machine must
never be carried out when the machine is held only by the tractor
lifting device. Always take special precautions in order to prevent an
unexpected lowering of the machine. Use a tackle or horse whose
minimum carrying capacity exceeds or is equal to the mass of the
machine (See type plate).
Vibrations in the shredder are usually caused by the rotor shaft being
out of balance. These vibrations may cause serious damage to the
shredder. When during mowing operations there is a clearly
noticeable increase in vibrations or change in sound produced by the
shredder, stop operations immediately, locate the cause and eliminate
it before continuing the work!
-
Regularly check hammers, bolts and hammer mounting plates on the rotor
shaft for wear. For minimum dimensions required, see chapter 7.1!
- Make sure the rotor shaft is provided with all hammers equally worn off!
- Damaged or worn hammers and bolts must be replaced immediately!
- Immediately replace rotor shafts that are out of balance or rotor shafts with
worn mounting plates!
- Regularly check the metal protecting flaps on the front side of the cutting
head. Make sure the flaps can rotate freely at all times. Replace bent or
worn flaps immediately.
It is prohibited by law to work with this machine
without protecting flaps/guards or if they are worn!!
- Only such persons are allowed to work with and/or on the shredder as are
perfectly familiar with it and well aware of possible dangers!
- Any and all work to be done on the shredder is allowed to be carried out
only with solid and proper tools.
