breviglieri b60pl, Operating And Maintenance

b60pl

The gearbox must only be adjusted or inspected with the ma-

chine unhitched from the tractor or with the tractor engine off and

the machine resting on the ground.

4.8 FRONT WHEELS

On request, the machine can be supplied with front wheels for

depth adjustment purposes. The adjustments are made by loos-

ening the screw (A Fig. 8) and lowering or raising the wheel. In

the former case, the depth becomes more shallow while in the

latter case it increases. Always remember to tighten the lock nut

sufficiently.

If the wheels are supplied separately, comply with the following

instructions to mount them on the machine:

- Mount the wheel support on the square section front tube and

fix it in place with the supplied U-bolts, taking care to tighten the

relative nuts to the correct extent.

When you remove the wheels, keep the side skids fully raised

since in this case, they only act as a protection.

4.9 STOPPING THE MACHINE

At the end of the job, the operator must:

- Disengage the tractor PTO.

- Lower the machine to the ground by means of the power lift.

- Stop the tractor and engage the parking brake.

- Make sure that all parts of the machine are at a standstill.

Only after the above mentioned operations have been carried out

may the operator leave the tractor unattended.

4.9.1 PARKING

- At the end of the job, the machine must be parked on a flat,

suitable surface.

- Stop the tractor and apply the parking brake.

- With the tractor stopped and all components at a complete stand-

still, remove the driveline from the PTO of the tractor.

- Unhitched the machine from the tractor.

WARNING

The place in which the machine is parked must be:

- Dry.

- Sheltered from adverse weather conditions.

- Guarded or locked up to prevent children or unauthorized

persons from freely accessing the machine.

CAUTION

If the machine is to remain idle for a long period of time, lu-

bricate the parts subject to wear and store the machine in a

dry, sheltered place, covered with a plastic sheet.

This will ensure that the machine is in the ideal condition

when required again.

SECTION 5

Maintenance

5.1 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

The various routine maintenance operations are described be-

low. Remember that lower running costs and longer machine life

depend on continual compliance with these instructions.

WARNING

Before proceeding with any operation, make sure that the

machine is parked on a flat surface. Prevent it from moving

by placing chocks under the wheels.

Servicing, adjusting and the operations required to prepare

the machine for work must be carried out with the tractor

and the driveline detached from the machine.

The servicing frequencies indicated in this manual are in-

dicative and refer to normal conditions of use. They may there-

fore vary depending on the type of service, whether the envi-

ronment is dirty or not, seasonal factors, etc. The servicing

operations must obviously be carried out more frequently in

heavier duty service conditions.

CAUTION

- Before injecting lubricating grease into the grease nipples,

carefully clean these latter to prevent mud, dust or foreign

bodies from mixing with the grease as this would reduce

or even annul its lubricating effects.

Injection  into  the  greasing  points  of  a  large  quantity  of

grease at high pressure can damage the bearing protec-

tion. This operation must therefore be carried out with the

greatest care.

- Lubricate and grease all the required points, including the

chains.

- Use  oil  of  the  recommended  type  for  topping  up  and

changes.

DANGER

Keep all lubricants well away from children’s reach.

Carefully read the warnings and precautions on the lubricant

containers.

The operator should thoroughly wash himself after using lu-

bricants.

Dispose of used oil in compliance with the anti-pollution laws.

5.2 LUBRICATION

Lubrication of any machine with parts that turn and/or rub together

is a vitally important task for the life and functionality of the actual

machine itself.

Lubrication must therefore be carried out systematically and at

the required intervals.

The frequencies given refer to machine use in a normal environ-

ment.

If this machine is used in heavier duty conditions, it must naturally

be lubricated more frequently.
