5. MAINTENANCE
Fig. 5-16 The PTO drive shaft for the cutter bar has been greased for life. The PTO should run
with minimum angle deviation, i.e. the measure difference at A and B should
maximum be 6 mm (+/- 3).
The alignment is made at the gearbox above the shaft by moving the gearbox in the
oblong holes or mount fillers between the gearbox and the frame at C.
The bolts D are tightened with 60 Nm (6 Kpm) and must be locked with LocTite.
Fig. 5-17 The spring washer (1) above the input disc is placed as shown with the curved side
upwards.
The nut (2) is tightened to 190 Nm (19 Kpm).
The bolts (3) which hold the disc bearing housing to the bar are tightened to 85 Nm
(8.5 Kpm).
WARNING:
After replacement of blades, blade bolts, nuts or discs check
that no tools have been left on the machine.
CONDITIONER
Defective fingers on the conditioner rotor must be replaced by new ones to ensure
optimal conditioning and transport of the crop. Furthermore, missing fingers or parts
of fingers will cause the rotor to get out of balance which for instance will result in
reduced life of the bearings.
TIGHTENING OF ROLLER CHAIN
Fig. 5-18 Press the sprocket wheel Z down towards the chain and tighten it.
WINTER STORAGE
When the season is over, the preparation for winter storage should be made
immediately after. First, clean the machine thoroughly. Dust and dirt absorb moisture
and moisture increases the formation of rust. Be careful when cleaning with a high
pressure cleaner. Never spray directly on the bearings and grease all nipples
carefully before and after cleaning so that possible water is pressed out of the
bearings.
The following points are instructions how to prepare for winter storage.
•
Check the machine for wear and other defects – note down the necessary parts
you will need before the next season and order the spare parts.
•
Dismount the PTO drive shafts, lubricate the profile tubes and keep them in a dry
place.
•
Spray the machine with a coat of rust-preventing oil. This is especially important
on the parts polished with use.
•
Change the oil in the cutter bar and the gearboxes.
•
Store the machine in a ventilated engine house.
