Daily maintenance
It is recommended for the operator to wear protective gloves when performing maintenance works.
Daily after completion of operation make sure to do the following:
inspect all visible external parts and assemblies and their connection; tighten all loosen screws if
worn or replace any damaged parts,
after each raking wash the rake with water under pressure,
remove any grass, dirt and mud from the machine,
examine condition of the rotor,
lubricate the PTO shaft telescopic tubes with STP grease,
if necessary, lubricate the other parts and assemblies in accordance with the lubrication
instructions (item 7).
6.4.
After-season maintenance and storing
At the end of the season the rake should be cleaned, washed and dried. Carefully grease
unpainted surfaces and 3-point linkage pins.
Make sure to do the following:
perform any necessary paintwork repair,
check oil level in gears (item 7). If leaks are found remove them immediately and refill the oil,
perform periodic checkups of the rake and protect all operating parts with grease in order to
prevent their baking and creating any sources of corrosion, which significantly influences the
rake's proper operation.
The detached machine should be stored in a standstill position (unfolded tine arms together with
rotors, drive chassis set on the ground like in position to work, main frame rest on secured support
stand). It is recommended to store the set on a paved ground, preferably in dry, roofed places,
inaccessible to unauthorized personnel (mainly children). If the machine is exposed to weather
conditions, apply lubrication regularly.
If stored for adequate period, prior to operating the machine, its technical condition should be
examined and special attention should be paid to the hydraulics and the drive. Paintwork should be
complemented and lubricated and hydraulic hoses checked.
6.3.1 Restarting the machine after longer idle periods
Make sure that all nuts and screws are tightened with correct torque (
Tab. 3
).
Make sure that all guards are installed in place.
After the storing lubricate the whole machine.
Check pressure in tires.
