9.4 LUBRICATION AND GREASING
Any non-painted metallic component is exposed to atmos-
pheric and weather factors, causing oxidation. Therefore,
dully lubrication and greasing of these components is im-
portant. The machine has stickers with the symbols for the
points to GREASE (Fig. 9.1) and LUBRICATE (Fig. 9.2).

Fig. 9.2
BEFORE LUBRICATING AND GREASING THE MA-
CHINE, WASH THE SEED DRILLER FOR TAKING
OUT THE SOIL REMAINING AFTER OPERATION
(SEE SECTION 9.1 FREQUENCY OF INTERVEN-
TIONS).
NEVER LUBRICATE THE SEED OR FERTILIZER
DISPENSER.
SOME GREASING POINTS MUST BE GREASED
AFTER 20 OR 50 OPERATION HOURS. THE
NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THESE NORMS MAY
DAMAGE THE MACHINE.
USE SOLID CALCIUM GREASE IN GREASING
POINTS.
GREASE
the following points:
- Track markers.
- Bushes in flotation, transmission and depth con-
trol wheels.
- Joints
- Transmission components.

APPLY THE GREASE THROUGH THE GREASING
POINTS (Fig. 94).

LUBRICATE
the transmission
chains (Fig. 9.5). For accessing
to the chain, remove the protec-
tion cover.
USE HEAVY-DUTY OILS FOR CHAINS IN LUBRI-
CATING POINTS.
