7 MAINTENANCE
• Correct machine servicing is necessary with a view to
reliable and safe working.
• Install supports underneath the cutter bar if it is lifted
from the ground, and you intend to carry out work to
the machine.
Accessibility of the cutter bar for maintenance is increased
by removing the frontmost safety shield. Proceed as follows:
- Lower the cutter bar onto the ground.
- Remove the two safety shields from the sides.
- Detach the protection cover at the central part of the front
by unfastening the strap.
- Dismount the securing bolts for both segments of the safety
cover.
- Turn both segments forwards and lower them onto the
ground (fig. 17).
- If necessary, unhook both segments in the middle to ensure
the total removal of the safety cover.
7.1Maintenance after operations
- Clean the machine thoroughly. After jet-cleaning allow for
a few moments rotation of the discs so that the water is
swept away.
- Check the mower knives and discs for tightness and
damage (torque: see § 7.3).
- Check the safety covers for damage.
- Grease the machine with a rust preventive.
- Grease the piston rods with an anti-corrosion agent if a
longer period of inactivity is anticipated.
Remove the agent when putting the machine back into
operation. If not, sealing of the ram may be affected after
hardening of the anti-corrosion agent.
