5.1 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The various routine maintenance operations are described below. Remember that lower running costs and long 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 indicative and refer to normal conditions of use. They may therefore vary
depending on the type of service, whether the environment 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 the unions 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 protection.
This operation must therefore be carried out with due care.
Lubricate and grease all the required points.
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 lubricants.
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 environment. If this machine is used in heavier duty conditions, it must naturally be lubricated
more frequently.
5.2.1 RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS
For the gear tank lubricate with:
COLUMBIA V.V. GEAR EP460

For all greasing points, the Manufacturer recommends: LITHIUM GREASE.
When servicing the driveline, strictly comply with the instructions given by the driveline Manufacturer, in the specific operation
and maintenance manual with which each driveline is equipped.
5.2.2 AFTER THE FIRST 8 HOURS SERVICE
Each new machine must be checked after the first 8 hours service. Proceed in the following way:
▪
Check the general condition of the machine
▪
Make sure that all the screws are well tightened
▪
Check the cutting tools for wear and make sure that the bolts that fasten them are well tightened
▪
Check the tension of the belts
▪
Check the level of the lubricants
