4.0 MAINTENANCE

The following is a list of various maintenance operations to be
carried out periodically. Reduced operating costs and a longer
lasting seeding machine depend, among other things, on the
methodical and constant observation of these rules. With the
safe and practical safety hitch the planting unit can be lifted for
maintenance work and checks (Fig. 27).
- The maintenance periods listed in this manual are only
intended as a general indication and apply to normal
operating conditions. They may, therefore, vary depending
on service condi-tions, dust factors, seasonal factors, etc.
For heavier conditions of service, maintenance will, of
course, have to be carried out more frequently.
- Before injecting grease, the nipples must be cleaned to
prevent mud, dust and foreign bodies from mixing with the
grease which would reduce or totally annul the effect of
the lubrication.
ATTENZIONE
- Always keep oils and grease out of the reach of children.
- Always read the warnings and precautions on the
containers carefully.
- Avoid skin contact
- After use wash thoroughly.
- Dispose of the used oils and polluting liquids in conformity
with the laws in force.
