10 Maintenance and care
10.1 General
To maintain the implement in good condition even after a long service life, the
following instructions must be observed:
In the supplement "For your safety…" you will find some basic safety
regulations for maintenance work.
Original parts and accessories are designed especially for the machines or
implements.
Please note that spare parts and accessories not supplied by us have also
not been tested and approved by us.
The installation or use of such products can therefore possibly negatively
change or impede the constructional properties of your implement. The
manufacturer rules out any liability for damages resulting from the use of
non-original parts and accessories.
The manufacturer is not liable for any unauthorised modifications and the
use of components and auxiliary parts.
All bolted connections should be re-tightened at the latest after 3 operating
hours and again after 20 hours, and then checked regularly. (Loose bolts
can cause significant consequential damage, which is not covered by the
warranty.)
The grease points on the joints and bearings must be lubricated regularly
(approx. every 10 operating hours with universal grease).
For implements with quick coupling, the guide slots must also be lubricated.
After the first 10 operating hours and subsequently every 50 operating hours,
the hydraulic units, hydraulic hoses and hydraulic couplings must be
checked for leaks and the bolted connections must be tightened if
necessary.
The wheel nuts must be checked and retightened every 50 km.
Check the hydraulic hoses for wear before every operation.
Caution! Liquids escaping under high pressure can penetrate the skin. For
this reason, a physician must be consulted immediately in case of accident!
After cleaning, lubricate all of the grease points and distribute the grease
evenly in the bearing points (e.g. perform a short test run).
Do not use a high pressure cleaner to clean bearing and hydraulic parts.
The paint can be damaged by cleaning with excessive pressure.
During the winter, the implement should be protected against rust with an
environmentally-friendly product.
Park the implement protected from weather conditions.
Put down the implement in a way that the tines are not needlessly strained.
(Roller all the way down, use the parking supports at the front.)
