After first 25h of use, check all screws’ and packings’ connections, tires’ pressure, and
whether wheels’ screws are tightened up. After every 50h, check gearbox oil, lubricate unloading
doors’ guide, and inspect the auger. After every 100h lubricate power take-off’s transmission
points, extend shaft halves, lubricate the runner, check tires’ pressure, and tighten wheels’ screws.
Every year, check hydraulic hoses for any damages or breaks, if there is a need, replace them.
Check the bearings in road wheels, if there’s a need, regulate. Fill wheel cover with grease, check if
the screws are tightened up.
