5.1 MAINTENANCE
Here, you find described all the operations of
ordinary maintenance.
It is good you to remember, that a lower working
cost and a higher durability of the planters depend
from the observance of these norms.
If the maintenance operantions are performed
carefully, the advantage will be only on user’s
favour, while starting newly to work, you will
find a machine in very good conditions.
The intervention times, mentioned in this manual,
are merely informative and are relative to normal
conditions of use. At any case, they can change in
relation to the kind of use, environment (more or
less dusty), seasonal factors, etc.
In bad working conditions, the maintenance
interventions have to be increased.
ATTENTION
Before going on with each operation, make
sure, the machine is on a flat ground and it is
blocked with the suitable blocks under the
wheels.
The maintenance operations, regulation and
preparation to the work must be performed,
when the tractor and the P.T.O. shaft are
disconnected from the planter.
CAUTION
The points on the machine to be greased are
indicated with the adhesive «greaser device»
(pag. 11 Pict. 4). Before injecting the grease
through the greaser devices, it is necessary to
clean carefully the greasing connenctions to
avoid that mud, dust or external bodies mixed
themselves with the grease, and as a
consequence reducing or canceling the effect
of the lubrication. Avoid to put too much
grease in the greaser devices. Too much
grease on the greased points, with a high
pressure, could damage the bearings
protections. This operation must be performed
carefully.
If necessary, spread a coat of anti-rust paint
on the corroded parts.
