MAINTENANCE AND CARE
NORMAL MAINTENANCE
The BOGBALLE machine is manufactured in such a way that it requires a minimum
of maintenance.
In the construction it is considered that cleaning and lubrication can be completed
quickly and thoroughly – without taking apart the machine.
The surface treatment consists of a robust powder paint – in addition all essential
wear parts and bolt assemblings are made of stainless steel.
Many of the components of the machine are greased once and need no extra
maintenance, for instance the central and angle gears of the transmission.
The maintenance mentioned below is absolutely necessary!
”
If the machine is maintained – it will still be new - in 5 years!”
”If the machine is not maintained – it will be old – next year!”
The machine must always be thoroughly cleaned after use. The cleaning
should be done with water perhaps with soap in it. When using a high-
pressure cleaner only use low pressure and do not clean direct on the axle
seals of the transmission.
Do not use grease-removing cleaning liquid – without giving the
machine – just after drying – an application of anti corrosion oil.
It is strongly recommended to grease the machine - BEFORE using it
first time. Remember always to grease all of the machine in a
corrosion protecting liquid
(for instance oil)
. It is not sufficient just to wash
the machine.
•
Without protection, rust might arise within a few hours in
areas, where the paint has been damaged – because fertiliser
salts hold acid and is therefore most corrosive.
Any paint damage should be cleaned and painted. A possibility could also be to treat
the damage by
Tectyl
or a similar product.
Please consider that cleaning products and corrosion protecting
liquids might include dissolvents that might dissolve the glue fixing the
transfers.
