Mowing equipment
The cutter bar is one of the most
heavily used agricultural implements.
It therefore goes without saying that
it must be maintained and adjusted
with particular care.
•
Prior to each start-up
and after
every 8 hours of operation, grease
all sliding parts on the mower knives
with organic lubricating grease or oil
them with organic lubricating oil.
•
Every time after approx. 1/2 hour of
operation, retighten all bolts and
nuts on mowing unit and mower
head (in particular on the knife driv-
er).
When
replacing
the
knife
driver
fixing
screws
use
only
genuine
Agria
screws.
Failure
to
do
so
can
result
in
knifebreakage.
Cleaning
Immediately
after each mowing opera-
tion
,
clean the cutter bar thoroughly with
water. To do this, remove the mower
knives so that, above all, the dirt accu-
mulated between the knife blades can
thoroughly be removed. Afterwards,
lubricate all sliding parts with organic
lubricating oil or with organic lubricating
grease. Spray the cutter bar with organic
anti-corrosion oil when the machine is not
in operation for a longer period of time.

After every
25
hours of operation, each
time you attach the cutter bar and
after every cleaning with a high-pressure
cleaner, lubricate the bearings of the
beam supporting pin at the grease nip-
ple (2) with organic grease.
