7 MAINTENANCE
• Correct machine servicing is vital for ensuring reliable
and safe operation.
7.1 Maintenance after operation
- Clean the machine thoroughly.
- Grease the machine with an anti-corrosion agent.
Pay special attention to the tines. Smooth tines without any rust
stimulate an unhampered crop flow.
- Grease the piston rod with an anti-corrosion agent if the machine
will not be used for a long period.
Remove the agent before using the machine again. If not, the ram
seal may be affected if the anti-corrosion agent hardens.
7.2 Lubrication
All lubrication points of the machine can be greased with a bio-
degradable grease (Total Biomultis SEP2), unless stated otherwise.
- PTO shafts must be greased every 8 working hours via the grease
nipples on the cross assemblies, protection tubes and slip clutch
(fig. 15).
- Grease the profiled tubes of the PTO shaft every 8 working hours
(fig. 15).
- Grease the cross assemblies of the double universal joints every 8
working hours (fig. 16).
- Grease the pivot points of the drive every 40 working hours
(fig. 17).
