4.0 MAINTENANCE
Here follows a list of various maintenance operations to be carri-
ed out periodically. Lowered operating costs and a longer lasting
seeding machine depend, among others, on the methodical and
constant observation of mese rules.
- The maintenance periods listed in this booklet are only in-
dicative and are for on normal conditions on use, therefore
be varied depending the kind of service, the more or less
dusty surroundings, seasonal factors, etc. For more serious
conditions of service, maintenance will logically be done
more often.
- Before injecting grease, the nipples must be cleaned to avoid
mud, dustand foreign bodies from mixing with the grease,
otherwise they will reduce or even annul the effect of the
lubrication.
ATTENTION
- Always keep oils and grease out of reach of children.
- Always read the instructions and precautions shown on the
containers and on the product safety sheets.
- Avoid skin-contact.
- After use wash the equipment thoroughly.
- Dispose of grease and used oils in conformity with the legi-
slation in force.
ATTENTION
Before performing maintenance on the machinery, be sure
to wear appropriate personal protection equipment (safety
footwear, overalls, gloves and safety glasses).
ATTENTION
All maintenance operations must be carried out with the
equipment resting on the ground and disconnected from the
tractor, with support devices securely in place and the rear
rollers resting on the ground.
4.0.1 WHEN THE MACHINE lS NEW
- Before starting the seeding operation grease all parts indicated
by transfer nr. 9 ('GREASE') of this leafl et.
- After the fi rst hours of work check that all the bolts are still
tight.
- With a new machine, check the hydraulic hoses and connections
before starting the system, and then after that check their ope-
rating safety condition at least once a year.

USE AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
4.0.2 EVERY 20/30 WORKING HOURS
- Ensure that the bolts are well-tightened.
- Periodically check the hydraulic cylinder and their fi ttings. If
necessary, repair or replace any defective parts.
4.0.3 SETTING ASIDE
At the end of the season, or if a long period of rest is for seen it
is advisable:
1) Wash the equipment with plenty of water, and then dry it.
2) Carefully check worn or damaged parts and replace if neces-
sary.
3) Tighten all screws and bolts with the closing coupling mentioned
in the paragraph entitled "Safety maintenance" -point 2, page
29.
4) Grease all the points marked by sticker n° 9 ("GREASE") on
page 27 of this manual.
5) Wipe over all the unpainted parts with lubricant.
6) Protect the equipment with a (nylon) cover.
7) Then put it in a dry place, do not move it and where it is out of
reach of un authorized people.
If these operations are done carefully, it will be to the total advan-
tage of the user because when work is recommenced, he will fi nd
the equipment in perfect conditions.
