9- MAINTENANCE
IN CASE OF MALFUNCTION, STOP THE PLANTER IMMEDIATELY AND REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY.
LEAVE THE TRACTOR AND VISUALLY INSPECT AND EVALUATE THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM.
PERFORM THE REQUIRED OPERATIONS ON THE PLANTER BEFORE RESTARTING IT.
MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS MUST BE PERFORMED IN PROPERLY EQUIPPED GARAGES BY QUA-
LIFIED PERSONNEL.
NO REPAIRS SHOULD BE PERFORMED WITHOUT THE NECESSARY SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE. IT IS
ESSENTIAL THAT THE INSTRUCTIONS DETAILED IN THIS MANUAL ARE STRICTLY FOLLOWED. IF
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE MISSING, PLEASE CONTACT THE PLANTER’S PROVIDER OR QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL.
IN ORDER TO PERFORM MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR OPERATIONS TO THE PLANTER, IT IS ESSEN-
TIAL TO USE PROPER PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE): SAFETY BOOTS AND GLO-
VES, HEARING PROTECTION, DUST MASK AND PROTECTIVE GLASSES).
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO AVOID WEARING LOOSE CLOTHING SINCE IT MAY BECOME TANGLED
WITH THE PLANTER’S MOVING PARTS.
Before performing any task on the machine, it is essential to take into account the following
factors:
- Maintaining or repairing the planter should be performed on a at and compact ground. Be-
fore starting any of these tasks, the tractor’s engine must be turned o and the ignition key
removed.
- The chosen device to raise the planter needs to be appropriate for the operations to be perfor-
med. Please ensure that all safety regulations are observed.
- Always use appropriate protective equipment for any task to be performed.
- In case compressed air is used to clean the planter, or an airbrush is used to paint any planter’s
part, you are required to wear protective glasses and mask.
- If any operation needs to be performed on a part of the machine which is at more than 1,5
metres height from the ground, check if it is possible to reach this part using the planter’s ac-
cess points (planter’s access ladder). If not possible, use either a ladder or a platform which is in
accordance with the current safety regulations.
- Prolonged and/or repetitive skin contact with fuel and lubricants is harmful. In case these pro-
ducts come accidentally into contact with the eyes or other sensitive parts, wash well the aec-
ted parts with clean water. In case of ingestion, contact the medical services immediately.
