Maintenance

(also do this before initial operation)

• Grease all points regularly. • These are: - 4x main shaft bearings (do not over grease). - 2x drive couplings - 6x pivot points in rear loading mechanism - Inside the hook latch contact surface • Keep the 2 drive chains oiled. Use non-tacky black or brown chain lube monthly. • Grease the wheel bearings annually or earlier depending on conditions. If the machine is travelling through water occansionlly we recommend ADR High Tech Lithogrease 3 or equivalent. • After the first 10 hours of operation: - Check the wheel nuts are tight. (x12)-220Nm - Check the nuts on the tynes are tight. (x2)-600Nm - Check the drawbar bolts are tight. (x3)-200Nm • During routine servicing check that all the grub screws and bolts are tight. • In a salty atmosphere keep grease on parts that are likely to rust. i.e. pins, diverter valve and cylinder shafts. • If rear chain is replaced or removed, ENSURE feed drums are timed correctly as shown. NOTE: top drum tooth should be flucsh with centre of bottom drum radius. This is very critical, one tooth out on sprocket will cause jamming in the wiper pannel.
