7 MAINTENANCE
• Correct machine servicing is vital for ensuring reliable
and safe operation.
7.1 Maintenance after operation
- Clean the machine thoroughly.
- Check the tines and tine arms for tightness or any damage.
- 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 biode-
gradable 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. 17).
- Grease the profiled tubes of the PTO shaft every 8 working hours
(fig. 17).
- Grease the cross assemblies of double universal joints every 8
working hours (fig. 18).
- Grease the gears in the gearboxes every 8 working hours (fig. 19)
While greasing, keep turning the rotors bit by bit to ensure the
grease is distributed effectively all over the gears.
- Grease the pivot points of the lateral rotors every 40 working
hours (fig. 19).
