3. MAINTENANCE
3.1 OPERATION, CARE & MAINTENANCE OF TILLER/CULTIVATOR
1.
All the shovels of the tynes should be set at equal depth. To do this, place the
cultivator on level ground and see that all the shovel touch the ground.
2.
Before commencing work with a cultivator, check it for loose bolts and nuts and
fasten them properly. After having taken all these precautions, run the cultivator
for one hour and then inspect it once more for any loose parts.
3.
Never turn or reverse your tractor while cultivator is ploughed deep in field. This
will twist the assemblies out of alignment and damage them extensively.
4.
Reverse or replace the shovel point when worn out. Delay may result in wearing
out of the tynes which will result into expensive repairing/replacements. Avoid use
of extra wide shovels as they do not improve tillage quality but only put extra load
on the tractor and also result into extra fuel consumption.
3.2. STORAGE OF CULTIVATOR/TILLER AFTER WORK
1.
Wash the cultivator after work.
2.
Replace the worn out nuts & bolts.
3.
If cultivator has to remain unused for long time then clean it & apply a layer of
used oil for rust prevention.
4.
These steps will enhance the life of your cultivator.
15. Never operate tractor and implement under trees with low hanging limbs.
Operators can be knocked off the tractor and then run over by the implement.
16. Operating spring loaded cultivator shanks may suddenly fling rocks and clods.
Keep all bystanders 10 meter away and operator must wear safety glasses.
17. Reduce speed when transporting mounted implements to avoid bouncing and
momentary loss of steering control.
18. It may be necessary to raise implement slightly and then lower to desired working
depth when tractor is moving.
19. Use extra care when working on slopes.
20. Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which can hinder alertness or
coordination while operating this equipment. Consult your doctor about operating
this machine while taking prescription medications.
