MAINTENANCE
9.5 AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
Periodically check the oil level of the gearbox
using the oil sight glass (1, Fig. 9.21).
WHEN THE OIL LEVEL REACHES
THE MARK IN THE CENTRE OF THE
OIL SIGHT GLASS, THAT MEANS
THAT THE OIL LEVEL IS OPTIMAL
(Fig. 9.22).
To ll the oil tank:
1- Remove the cap (2, Fig. 9.21)
2- Fill the tank. Check the level using the oil si-
ght glass (1, Fig. 9.21).
3- Place the cap back.
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO CHANGE THE OIL
EVERY 5 YEARS, REGARDLESS OF THE USE
OF THE PLANTER. TO CHANGE THE OIL,
ALWAYS USE OIL TYPE SAE 30 (APPROXIMA-
TELY 2 LITRES).
9.6 MACHINE CLEANING
The planter should be washed using a water jet or preferably using a high-pressure cleaner. Let
the planter dry before greasing or lubricating to prevent the metallic parts from rusting.
After washing the machine, turn on the fan for some minutes in order to remove the moisture
from the metering units and the suction system.
It may be possible that, while working, some foreign bodies are stuck in some parts of the plan-
ter, such as the fertilizer’s discs and the seed discs. Check that these discs are turning properly.
Otherwise, take the component apart and remove any foreign body.
EVERY TIME THE SEED HOPPER IS CLEANED USING COMPRESSED AIR, USE PROPER PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) (see section 9- MAINTENANCE).
