Maintenance and Storage
Please follow the maintenance and storage instructions below in order to ensure your Robocrop
precision guided implement stays in first class working order
1. There are no lubrication points on the side shift.
2. Check that dirt does not build up on the side shift rails and rollers and clean if necessary.
However, take care not to pressure wash electrical components such as the potentiometer,
camera, solenoid valves, or micro-controller box.
3. Regularly check the routing of hoses and cables and protect against chaffing.
4. Store the hoe fully undercover. Although the camera, loom and implement box are shower
proof damage may result if they are exposed to wet weather for extended periods.
5. The console and camera should be stored in a dry atmosphere.
6. Always ensure the correct 20 amp fuse is fitted in the power supply.
7. Always ensure the correct supply polarity is adhered to.
