MAINTENANCE
A careful maintenance of the seed drill ensures proper func-
tioning and long service life of the machine.
BEFORE PERFORMING THESE OPERATIONS, THE
SEED DRILL’S ENGINE MUST BE TURNED OFF
AND THE IGNITION KEY REMOVED.
The next table shows the maintenance operations to be
performed on the machine along with their
guidance fre-
quency
.

9.2 SCREWS
All unions of the seed drill must be checked and, if necessary,
retighted.
AFTER THE FIRST 10 HOURS OF WORK, TIGH-
TEN THE SCREWS THAT SECURE THE METERING
UNITS, THE THREE POINT LINKAGE, THE WHEE-
LS AND THE TRACK MARKERS’ SUPPORTS.
9.3 CLEANING THE SEED DRILL
The seed drill should be washed using a water jet or prefera-
bly using a high-pressure cleaner. Let the seed drill dry befo-
re greasing or lubricating to prevent the metallic parts from
rusting. After washing the machine, turn on the fan for some
minutes in order to remove the moisture from the metering
units and the suction system. It may be possible that, while
working, some foreign bodies are stuck in some parts of the
machine. Remove any foreign body and check if any damage
has been caused to the seed drill.
WHEN CLEANING WITH COMPRESSED AIR, USE
PROPER PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
(PPE) (SEE SECTION 9. MAINTENANCE).
9.4 GREASING AND LUBRICATION
Every non-painted metallic component of the seed drill is
exposed to atmospheric and weather conditions, which may
oxidize them. For this reason, it is important to grease and
lubricate these components.
Attached to specific parts of the seed drill, you will find ad-
hesives with symbols to indicate the parts to be GREASED
(Fig. 88) or the points to be LUBRICATED (Fig. 89).
Fig. 88 Fig. 89
BEFORE LUBRICATING OR GREASING, WASH
THE SEED DRILL TO REMOVE EARTH RESIDUES
ATTACHED TO THE MACHINE (see section 9.1
CHECKING FREQUENCY).
DO NOT GREASE OR LUBRICATE THE SEED
METERING UNIT OR THE FERTILISER METERING
UNIT.
SOME PARTS OF THE MACHINE NEED TO BE
GREASED EVERY 20 OR 50 WORKING HOURS.
NOT OBSERVING THESE GREASING RULES MAY
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SEED DRILL.
TO GREASE THESE PARTS, ALWAYS USE SOLID
CALCIUM GREASE.
ALWAYS USE HIGH PERFORMANCE CHAIN OIL
TO GET A RELIABLE LUBRICATION.
The following parts of the seed drill should be
GREASED:
- Track markers.
- The bushings from the drive wheel and the depth
adjustment wheel.
- Joints.
- Each component of the transmission.
TO APPLY THE GREASE, ACROSS THE POINTS OF
GREASING.
LUBRICATE
the transmission chains. To gain access to the
chain, first remove the protective lid.
