MAINTENANCE
7- MAINTENANCE
IN CASE OF MALFUNCTION, STOP THE PLANTER IM-
MEDIATELY AND REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY. LEAVE
THE TRACTOR AND VISUALLY INSPECT AND EVALUA-
TE THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM. PERFORM THE
REQUIRED OPERATIONS ON THE PLANTER BEFORE
RESTARTING IT.
MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS MUST BE PERFORMED
IN PROPERLY EQUIPPED GARAGES BY QUALIFIED PER-
SONNEL.
NO REPAIRS SHOULD BE PERFORMED WITHOUT THE
NECESSARY SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE. IT IS ESSEN-
TIAL THAT THE INSTRUCTIONS DETAILED IN THIS
MANUAL ARE STRICTLY FOLLOWED. IF THESE INS-
TRUCTIONS ARE MISSING, PLEASE CONTACT THE
PLANTER’S PROVIDER OR QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
IN ORDER TO PERFORM MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR
OPERATIONS TO THE PLANTER, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO
USE PROPER PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIP-
MENT (PPE): SAFETY BOOTS AND GLOVES, HEARING
PROTECTION, DUST MASK AND PROTECTIVE GLAS-
SES).
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO AVOID WEARING LOOSE
CLOTHING SINCE IT MAY BECOME TANGLED WITH
THE PLANTER’S MOVING PARTS.
Before performing any task on the machine, it is essential to take into
account the following factors:
- Maintaining or repairing the planter should be performed on a
flat and compact ground. Before starting any of these tasks, the
tractor’s engine must be turned off and the ignition key removed.
- The chosen device to raise the planter needs to be appropriate for
the operations to be performed. Please ensure that all safety regu-
lations are observed.
- Always use appropriate protective equipment for any task to be
performed.
- In case compressed air is used to clean the planter, you are required
to wear protective glasses and mask.
- If any operation needs to be performed on a part of the machine
which is at more than 1,5 metres height from the ground, check if it
is possible to reach this part using the planter’s access points. If not
possible, use either a ladder or a platform which is in accordance
with the current safety regulations.
- Prolonged and/or repetitive skin contact with fuel and lubricants
is harmful. In case these products come accidentally into contact
with the eyes or other sensitive parts, wash well the affected parts
with clean water. In case of ingestion, contact the medical services
immediately.
7.1 CHECKING FREQUENCY
The periodicity of the check-ups indicated below is solely for orien-
tation purposes. It may suffer variations depending on the type of
service, use of the machine and conditions of use.
- BEFORE STARTING THE SOWING SEASON:
Check the general operation of the planter. Perform this check
without any products inside the hopper.
Check that the plastic components of the planter are in good condi-
tion. The wear of this material due to natural ageing or to the presen-
ce of rodents causes damages to these components.
Check that the mechanical components are in good condition and
not rusty.
Clean the parts of the machine which are permanently in contact
with seeds or fertilizers, such as hopper and metering unit.
Check that the signal lamps work properly.
Check that the unions and the ducts of the hydraulic system do not
show oil leaks.
- DAILY:
Empty and clean with air pressure both the hopper and the dispen-
ser of residual products that may remain after finishing the work
shift.
Check that the metering unit and the air circuit do not contain any
residue (such as seed or fertilizer residue, dust, etc). Residue accumu-
lation may damage the air circuit.
- END OF SOWING SEASON
Empty and clean with air pressure both the hopper and the dispen-
ser, making sure that there are no residual products,
If washing the machine, make sure no residual products remain, as
they may damage the machine if left to dry.
Repaint any metallic component which has lost its paint due to wear.
To store the planter properly, cover it with tarpaulin and keep it in a
dry place.
Thoroughly check all components of the planter and replace the
ones which are damaged or worn.
A careful maintenance of the machine ensures proper functioning
and long service life of the machine.
BEFORE PERFORMING THESE OPERATIONS, THE
PLANTER’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) frequency:
AFTER THE FIRST 10 HOURS OF WORK, TIGHTEN THE
SCREWS.
