7. MAINTENANCE
Retighten all bolts and nuts after the first 8 hours of work, specially
the ones of mouldboards, shares and points. Henceforth, check every 100
hours of work. When putting the plough away, clean and grease
thoroughly the mouldboards to prevent from rusting.
Lubrication: grease the greaser.
Safe maintenance
Be used to the maintenance procedures before carrying out the
works. The working zone must be clean and dry. Don’t carry out any work
of lubrication, repair or adjust with the motor enabled. Keep the hands,
feet and clothes always far from movable components. Turn all the
controls off, to alleviate the pressure. All the components must be in good
state and correctly installed. Repair damages immediately. Change any
worn away or broken pieces. Maintain all the components of the machine
clean of fat, oil and accumulated dirt. Because of being dragged
equipment, disconnect the cable groups of the tractor before making
works of weld in the machine.
Take care of the leaks of high pressure
The fluids that escape of the system can have as much force that
they can penetrate the skin, causing serious injuries. Therefore, it is
essential to leave the system without pressure before relaxing or
disconnecting any pipe and make sure that all the connections and the
hydraulic parts they are well tight before applying pressure to the system.
In order to locate a hydraulic oil leak, use a piece of cardboard that is put
on the connections. Do not approach the hands and the body to a leak of
high pressure. If, in spite of this precaution, it happens an accident, go
immediately to a doctor who should eliminate surgically the fluid within few
hours to avoid gangrene. The doctors who do not have experience in
dealing with these type injuries can go to a specialized medical centre.
Storage of the hydraulic sleeves.
IMPORTANT:
maintain the plugs clean. The abrasive particles, like
the sand or the metallic shaving, can damage the oil seals, shirts and
cylinders, causing internal leaks. Once disconnected of the tractor, make
sure that they are not in contact with the ground
