operates smoothly.
Wheel nuts:
Check torque settings.
Oil Sump:
Check the oil level and replenish with Total/Finol Chainac MP oil as required.
Weekly (40 hrs)
PTO input shaft:

VFC door:
Grease the door’s hydraulic cylinders (4 nipples) and the slide plates (smear
food grade grease on surfaces). The recommended grease is “Ceran FG”
supplied by TOTAL Lubricants, or similar food and feed industry grade
grease.
Chassis:
Grease the hitch pivot tube (where swivel hitch is fitted).
Single axle:
Grease all 6 pivot points listed below:
2 on each brake rod (4 in total)
1 on each brake arm (2 in total)
Tandem axle (where fitted):
Grease all 14 pivot points listed below:
2 on each brake rod (8 in total)
1 on each brake arm (4 in total)
1 on each spring bogie pivot pin (2 in total)
Axle U-bolts:
Check axle U-bolt torque settings (tandem only).
Tyres:
Check that tyres are inflated to the recommended pressures and make sure
the wheel nuts are tight.
Monthly
BaleBlend:
Grease each Tine pivot & check the Tines for looseness.
Tine buffer:
Check for cracks, splits or degradation.
Yearly (end of season or 450 Hrs)
Drive System:
Open oil bath drain bung and drain off existing oil. Wash off all dirt and old
oil, using paraffin, then dry. Refill bath with new oil to required level (see
section 6.4) and run machine for 5-10 minutes to ensure all chains have
been lubricated.
Overall Machine:
Before storage, wash the complete machine, then grease or oil all weekly
lubrication points as above. Open the drain bung in the mixing hopper.
Check tyre pressures. Store the machine under cover or under a tarpaulin,
if possible.
Electronic weighbox:
If the machine is to be stored, remove the weighbox unit from the machine
and keep in a dry place. Lightly grease the load cell cable connector end
and place it into a plastic bag.
Wheels:
Remove and inspect wheel hub. Replace worn parts, redress and re-fit.
Blades:
Blades need to be kept sharpened. This will have to be done without taking
the temper (over heating) from the blades. If the machine is operated with
blunt blades it will cause major stress on the drive system. Blades may have
to be replaced when it is not practical to sharpen them.
