Regular cleaning, servicing and maintenance can extend the life of your Müthing mulcher
considerably and improve the reliability and quality of the cut.
The responsibility for carrying out thorough and regular servicing lies in your hands.
→ Take care to clean the Mulcher in a suitable place
and spray it with a preservative
when you finish work.
→ Ensure that all main components are serviced regularly.
→ Inspect the mulcher regularly for wear and faults.
→ Replace worn parts and carry out necessary repairs
Please note that damage caused by failing to comply with the maintenance and servicing procedure
will not be covered by the warranty!
The following information on checking for wear and tear, servicing and maintenance should be
considered as general information.
Owing to the wide range of situations in which this machine operates, especially very intensive use
or difficult working conditions, we ask you to draw up a specific maintenance and inspection
schedule after the first session of work, to inspect and service the machine and take account of the
experience that you have gained.
For the inspection and servicing of the tractor and the P.T.O. drive shaft, which should be underta-
ken at the same time, we ask that you refer to the manufacturer's servicing manual for each item of
equipment.
Servicing does not as a rule require any particular expertise or specialised workshop. It should
nevertheless only be conducted by proficient and suitable people at suitable and appropriate
locations. Ensure that no pollution (soil, water, air) occurs!
Maintenance work, solving difficult problems, replacing drive belts or cutting flails or complex
modification work such as drive speed conversions should always be carried out by qualified
mechanics in a specialist workshop.
Make use of any reduction in your workload over the winter months to give the mulcher a thorough
check and a full service. Your mulcher will thank you for many years to come.
