5.0 MAINTENANCE

The following is a list of various maintenance operations to be
carried out periodically. Reduced operating costs and a longer
lasting seeding machine depend, among other things, on the
methodical and constant observation of these rules.

CAUTION

- The maintenance periods listed in this manual are only

intended as a general indication and apply to normal operating
conditions. They may, therefore, vary depending on service
condi-tions, dust factors, seasonal factors, etc. For heavier
conditions of service, maintenance will, of course, have to be
carried out more frequently.

- Before injecting grease, the nipples must be cleaned to

prevent mud, dust and foreign bodies from mixing with the
grease which would reduce or totally annul the effect of the
lubrication.

ATTENZIONE

- Always keep oils and grease out of the reach of children.
- Always read the warnings and precautions on the containers

carefully.
