Maintenance intervals
The maintenance intervals are determined by
many different factors.
For example, the different operating conditions,
weather impact, travel and working speeds, dust
accumulation and type of soil, seed, fertiliser
and dressing used, etc. affect the maintenance
intervals. The quality of the lubricants and clean
-
ing agents also affects the time to the next care
activities.
The specified maintenance intervals therefore
only serve as a reference.
In case of deviations from normal operating
conditions the intervals must be adapted ac-
cordingly.
Regular maintenance is the basis for a fully
operable machine. Properly serviced machines
reduce the risk of failing and ensure economical
use and operation of the machines.
Storage
If the machine is to be shut down for a longer
period of time:
¾
If possible, park the machine under a roof.
¾
Completely empty and clean the seed and
fertiliser hopper.
¾
Reduce the coulter pressure adjustment to
relieve the rubber elements.
¾
Open the clearing valve.
¾
Unplug the terminal and store it in a dry place.
¾
Protect the machine against corrosion. For
spray coating use only biodegradable oils.
¾
Relieve the wheels from any load.
¾
Protect the hydraulic cylinder piston rods
against corrosion.
¾
Secure the machine with wheel chocks
against rolling away.
NOTE
¾
Do not spray the plastic and rubber parts with
oil or corrosion protection agent. These parts
could become brittle and break.
