Maintenance
Routine maintenance operations are listed below. Extraordinary maintenance operations (repairs of parts or
components) can be carried out by specialised personnel authorised by the manufacturer.
WARNING!
The schedule is for information purposes only and depends on normal operation conditions. Conditions
can in fact change depending on the service, the environment and on frequency of use. If conditions are particularly
awkward, the frequency of maintenance operations should be amended accordingly.
WARNING!
It is mandatory to make sure that the PTO shaft connecting the gearbox of the flail mulcher is disconnected
from the agricultural tractor PTO before starting any maintenance.
WARNING!
After maintenance, always restore any safety devices that may have been removed, so that they are in
place before new work is started.
It is recommended
to always use oil of the same type and quality as used previously when refilling or changing the oil.
Greasing points should be cleaned carefully before lubrication, to prevent mud, dust or foreign bodies from mixing with
the lubricant.
-
It is mandatory
that any repair and/or maintenance intervention be carried out by an operator with suitable physical
and intellectual requirements.
-
It is mandatory
to verify that during maintenance or repair operations, unauthorised personnel are kept away from
the flail mulcher.
-
It is prohibited
to deactivate protection and safety devices. When it becomes necessary to deactivate these devices
in order to carry out extraordinary maintenance, the operation must only be completed for extraordinary maintenance
and only by a maintenance mechanic, who will guarantee operator safety and avoid any damage to the machine, as
well as restoring the effectiveness of the same devices at the end of maintenance operations.
-
It is mandatory
to switch the engine of the agricultural tractor which the flail mulcher is connected to off before
performing any maintenance or mechanical setting, and disconnect the PTO shaft.
-
It is recommended
to perform all maintenance that is not covered in this manual in an authorised service centre.
- Before restarting the flail mulcher after lubrication and/or maintenance,
it is mandatory
to wait for the authorization of
the mechanical maintenance technician who must verify that:
- The works have been completed;
- The flail mulcher works perfectly;
- The safety devices are in their correct place and fully functional;
- No other operations are being performed on the flail mulcher.
