7.3 Intermediate maintenance

Intermediate maintenance has to be carried out:

• at the start of the season;
• before prolonged storage of the machine;
• when the machine is used extensively during the season.

- Grease all points of the machine listed in chapter 7.2

“Lubrication”.

- Grease the spring-loaded locking pins of the yoke lock of

the PTO shaft.

- Check if the PTO shaft telescopes smoothly. A damaged

PTO shaft may cause excessive wear and tear to the
machine and tractor.

- Check the tyre pressure (fig. 14).

- Check the machine for damage and flaws.

- Check all bolts and nuts for tightness.

When tightening loose bolts/nuts the torques listed below
should be applied.

- Check the rotors for sagging (fig. 16).

• Place the machine on a level surface.
• Place two wheels - pair by pair - on a 60 mm elevation to

ensure sagging of the adjacent segment.

• Ensure horizontal machine position.
• The stop bolts (fig. 15) should only just foul the abut-

ment surfaces.

Turning of the abutment bolt (for adjusted sagging) may
lead to damage to the hydraulic retraction rams and/or
protection brackets.
