Maintenance Schedule
1 Bolted Connections
All bolted connections of the machine should be checked
after the first 30 hours of operation and retightened if
necessary thereafter at regular intervals. It is suggested
that this is done every 500 hectares or annually, whichever
occurs first.
2 Gearbox
The oil level in the gearbox can be seen in the oil gauge
window (Fig 18/2). Fill to half way up window. Changing
the gearbox oil is normally not necessary. For refilling the
oil remove the 1/2” BSP plug on the top face of the
gearbox (Fig 18/3), Castrol Oil Agri Trans Plus should be
used. The total filling capacity is 1.25 litres.
DO NOT OVERFILL.
3 Roller Chains
All drive chains (Figs 17/1, 18/1) should first be checked
after 20 hours of operation and thereafter weekly or after
75Ha of operation as follows:-
The metering wheels of the seed drill are driven via roller
chains from the drive wheel.
Cleaning of the roller chains is recommended after long
periods of operation. Remove the chain, wash in kerosene
and then dip them in heated grease or oil or spray them
with a suitable commercial roller chain lubricant.
