Lubricating the machine
The machine should be lubricated at regular
intervals and after washing with a pressure
cleaner.
This ensures operability and reduces repair
costs and downtimes.
Hygiene
Lubricants and mineral oil products are no threat
to health, as long as they are used as instructed.
Avoid prolonged skin contact or the inhalation
of vapours.
Handling lubricants
Use gloves and skin protection creams to protect
against lubricants.
Avoid direct contact, use soap and water if
contaminated.
Storage
If the machine is to be shut down for a longer
period of time:
¾
If possible store the machine under a roof.
¾
Completely empty and clean the seed and
fertiliser hopper.
¾
Reduce the coulter pressure adjustment to
relieve the rubber elements.
¾
Open the clearing valve.
¾
Unplug the terminal and store it in a dry place.
¾
Protect the machine against corrosion. For
spray coating use only biodegradable oils.
¾
Take all load off the wheels.
¾
Protect the hydraulic cylinder piston rods
against corrosion.
NOTE
Do not spray the plastic and rubber parts with
oil or corrosion protection agent. These parts
would become brittle and break.
