Periodic inspections and maintenance operations described in this section must be performed by
operator in the times and terms prescribed. Failure to comply with maintenance prescriptions can
compromise the functioning and duration of the machine, and consequently invalidate the warranty.
The frequency of maintenance indicated refers to normal conditions of use: it must be intensified in
severe operating conditions (frequent stops and starts, prolonged winter season etc ...).
Repairs, maintenance and modifications other than those mentioned in this paragraph should NOT
be performed without consulting the manufacturer or your dealer. Manufacturer, as the case, may
give the authorization to proceed with the repair together with all necessary instructions.
Wrong or inappropriate repairs or maintenance may generate abnormal operating conditions,
equipment damage and generate risks for the operator.
WARNING
For safety reasons, all maintenance operations must be performed with tractor PTO disengaged, tiller
stopped and completely lowered to the ground or onto support blocks, parking brake set, tractor
engine shut off, and ignition key removed.
IMPORTANT
Respect the environment. Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by the chemical
manufacturer.
6.1. BLADES REPLACEMENT
Frequently check the wear condition of blades through visual inspection. The wear of blades is very
variable depending on the type of soil.
Replacement of the blades is necessary when the operator notices increase of power absorption
during tilling, or when the blade dimension is significantly reduced compared to the original.
The use of the machine with blades in bad condition compromises the quality of work.
Before perform replacement of the blades:
 idle tractor engine, set the parking brake, disengage tractor PTO, and wait for all moving parts to
come to a complete stop;
 place the tiller slightly lifted from the ground on safety blocks or mechanical stands;
 lock the control lever of the hydraulic lift of the tractor;
 turn off the tractor and remove the key.
To perform the replacement of blades:
 remove the two bolts and washers clamping the blade to the rotor flange, then remove the blade;
 position the new blade exactly instead of the worn blade, then tighten the bolts, referring to the
tightening table of this manual for proper torque values. Be sure to install the blade with cutting
edge in front of the direction of rotation;
 repeat the same procedure for all the other blades.
At the end of the replacement, make sure the blades have the right helical arrangement, as shown
in the figure:
