Maintenance
Before starting work on the plough attached to the
tractor, shut off the engine and remove the ignition key.
DO NOT
work on a raised plough.
ALWAYS
lower the plough and release hydraulic
pressure before carrying out work on the hydraulic
system.
Always dispose of used oil as required by law.
After the initial hours of work (approx. 8 h),
retighten all screws and bolts, and check
regularly for tightness thereafter.

On the configuration with trash boards, ensure that
the supporting bolts are fitted. (

).
Lubricate all bearings
regularly
using multi-purpose
lithium-based grease:
E.g. on turnover cylinder, turnover shaft, vertical
adjustment screws (
3/13
), guide rails (
33/2
), spindle
bearings (
33/3
), centre pin (
33/4
), pivot pins on angling
ram (
33/5
), hydraulic furrow press arm, disc coulters
and depth / combi – wheel.
When used on very stony soil, lubricate the bearings
on the auto reset system
daily
.
(Avant / HydroAvant models).
Check
tapered roller bearings
on depth wheel,
disc coulters and turnover shaft and readjust if
necessary.
The swivelling speed on the Combi - wheel during
turnover can be in- or decreased by means of
tightening or slackening the castellated nut (
34/1
).
Apply oil to linkages, ensure spindles can move freely.
Carry out regular inspections of the hydraulic supply
hoses and replace them at the first sign of wear or
brittleness.
Pressure hoses have a fixed natural working life and
should not be used for more than 5 - 6 years.
When hosing down the plough (especially when using
a high-pressure cleaner), do not point the jet of water
directly at the bearings.
Whenever the plough is parked up, apply an anti-
corrosion product to all wearing surfaces and smear
the piston rods with acid-free grease to preserve them.
Touch up damaged paint work.
