CLEANING AND OILING THE CUTTERS
Mowing bar cleaning and oiling are very dangerous poerations.
Always comply with the following instructions:
- Lift the implement by means of the lift links in a fl at place where
it cannot slip;
- Operate the mowing bar, checking that there are no persons or
animals in the vicinity;
- Brake the tractor and make sure it is unable to move;
- Wash the mowing bar with a jet of pressurized water, stan-
ding at least one and a half meters away from the imple-
ment;
- Switch off the tractor, remove the starter key and disengage the
pto;
- Check the condition of the cutters;
- When the mowing bar is dry, lubricate the cutting blades
with very viscous oil;
- Operate the mowing bar for a few seconds, cheking that there
are no persons or animals in the vicinity;
- Switch off the tractor, remove the starter key and disengage the
pto;
- Fit the guards over the cutters and outer skid (C, Fig. 35)
IMPORTANT: The cutting blades must be cleaned and lubri-
cated every day after work.
STORAGE
It is advisable to proceed in the following way at the end of the
season or if the machine is to remain inactive for a long period of
time:
- Treat the implement in compliance with the instructions given in
the chapter entitled: "Cleaning and oiling the cutters".
- Carefully check for any damaged or worn parts and replace
these as necessary.
- Fully torque all screws and bolts.
- Apply a little lubricant to the unpainted parts.
- Protect the entire implement with a tarpaulin.
- Lastly, store the implement in a dry place where it cannot be
tampered with by unauthorized persons; the mowing machi-
ne must be set-up on fl at and compact ground, supported
by the relative bearing struts (F-G, Fig. 36).
Careful compliance with these instructions will be all to the
advantage of the user who will be sure to use an implement
in perfect conditions when work begins again.
