MAINTENANCE
Maintenance is crucial for the working life and efficiency of any agricultural equipment. If the
equipment is properly maintained and operated, a long working life and operator safety are assured.
The maintenance intervals indicated in this booklet are provided as a mere reference and are related
to normal working conditions; changes may occur depending on the type of activities, environmental
dust, seasonal factors, etc.
- Before injecting lubricating grease into the grease
fittings, clean the fittings to prevent mud, dust, or any
other foreign matter from contaminating the grease and
reducing the lubrication effect.
- When adding or changing the oil, use the same type of oil
to prevent mixing oils with different features.
- All maintenance activities must be carried out with the
tiller resting horizontally on the ground, with the engine
off and not overheated.
- After using the equipment for a few hours, make sure
that all the bolts (especially tine bolts) are tightened;
regularly check all the machine guards.
PROGRAM
First check
- after 50 working hours, check the oil in the gearbox (A – picture 7) and make sure that all the
