recommended using only compressed air.
If the machine was exposed to humidity with thus getting
strongly soiled, a high-pressure cleaner should be used.
First, the shields and gathering chains to take off and all
bearings lubricated.
Greasing points
The greasing points are located as follows: ( hours)
Stripping rows: on front bearing ( 15)
PTO-shafts: general (100)
PTO-shafts: tubes and sliders
(200)
Folding mechanisms: joints and pivots (100)
Shaft coupler: sliders / flange (200)
The brackets show the greasing intervals in hours.
fter each cleaning, the machine should be greased again
and put into operation for short time.
Stripping plates
When cleaning the machine, the stripping plates must be
moved quite often for removing dust and corn remainders
out of the pushing channels (Z).
If the machine is cleaned with water, the chain guides (K)
to remove and the pushing area (Z) of the stripping plates
to clean and protect against corrosion.
The pivots (D) should be oiled or greased.
