MACHINE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Observe the safety instructions for treatment and maintenance
.
If it is necessary to weld during the repair and have the machine connected to the tractor, it must have
disconnected supply cables from the alternator and the accumulator.
Check the tightening of all screw and other assembly connections at the machine before every use of the
machine, furthermore continuously as needed.
Continuously check the wear of the working bodies of the machine, possibly replace these worn working
bodies with new ones.
Adjustment, cleaning, and lubrication of the machine may only be performed with the machine at rest
(i.e. the machine is standing and not working).
Plants and other residues potentially caught on the shaft by the bearing have to be removed, otherwise
the bearing will get damaged.
When working on a lifted machine, use suitable support equipment supported at marked points or at
points suitable for that.
During adjustment, cleaning, maintenance, and repair of the machine, you must secure those parts of the
machine that could endanger the operator by falling or another movement.
For catching the machine during handling using lifting equipment, use only the places marked with self-
adhesive labels with the chain sign "
".
Upon a failure or damage of the machine, immediately turn off the tractor's engine and secure against
restarting, secure the machine against movement
only then you can remove the failure.
During repairs of the machine, use exclusively the genuine spare parts, suitable tools and protective
equipment.
Keep the machine clean.
Lower the machine with caution so that the chisels and shares are not damaged by sharp lowering to the
ground.
Do not clean hydraulic cylinders and bearings with a high-pressure cleaner or direct water stream.
The seals and bearings are not watertight at high pressure.

MACHINE STORAGE
Long-term machine shutdown:
Store the machine under a roof if possible.
Store the machine on a flat and solid surface with sufficient load capacity.
Clean the machine before storing and conserve so that it is not damaged in any way during storage. Pay
special attention to all marked lubrication points and properly lubricate them according to the lubrication
plan.
When not using the machine, leave it in an unfolded position leaning against the rear roller, the support
leg and the front spreading discs. Support the tines with a suitable bracket (such as a piece of wood) or
draw the working units in so that the chisel tips are above the ground. If you do not have a suitable
support available, disassemble the chisels. If the machine is left resting on the chisels, the weight of the
machine may damage them. There is a risk of damage even when the machine is standing on an uneven
surface for a short period of time when the machine weight is only transferred to some chisels.
Secure the machine against access of unauthorised persons.
