Operation of ORKAN / ORKAN VARIO / ORKAN RESOR plough
Daily maintenance
At the end of the each working session, clean the plough thoroughly off soil and
plant residues. Inspect the screw, bolt and pin connections and the condition of the
working components and other parts. Replace any damaged or worn parts. Tighten any
loose screw connections and replace damaged plugs and pins. Before commencing work
and after every cleaning with water, lubricate the grease points (chapter 5.1). Never
direct a liquid jet at bearings.
Post-season maintenance
At the end of the working season, clean the plough thoroughly and repair the spots
of damaged paint coating. Also, the abraded working surfaces of the bodies should be
cleaned thoroughly and preserved. In addition, perform complete lubrication. During idle
periods, storage under a roof is recommended. However, if this is not possible, check the
condition of the protection from time to time and supplement the grease washed away by
the rain, if necessary.
5.1.
Lubrication
•
Clean the plough from soil after each use and inspect the parts and assemblies.
•
After the first 4 hours of operation, re
-
tighten all bolts and periodically check them
for tightness.
Failure to do so will exacerbate play and backlash and result in damage
to the implement.
•
Use thread adhesive and only original screws and nuts when replacing worn parts.
•
Always remember to tighten the screwed joints properly.
CAUTION!
Periodic lubrication guarantees the long service life of the machine.
The long service life and efficiency of a machine depends to a large extent on regular
lubrication. Use mineral greases for lubrication. Clean the lubrication points thoroughly
before pressing or applying grease.
Before lubrication, grease nipples should be thoroughly cleaned. The following lubrication
points should be lubricated depending on the intensity of use:
•
plough rotation axles (2 pieces)
-
10 hours,
•
actuator pins (2 pieces)
-
10 hours,
•
connector pin at the head (1 piece)
-
10 hours,
•
connector pin at the frame beam (1 piece)
-
50 hours or once a week,
•
gauge wheel rotation axle (rotation depending on the operation side), (1 piece)
-
10 hours,
•
coulter disc bearings.
