depending on the type of service, whether the environment is dirty or not, seasonal factors, etc.
The servicing operations must obviously be carried out more frequently in heavier duty service conditions.
Before injecting lubricating grease into the grease nipples, carefully clean the unions to prevent mud, dust or foreign bodies
from mixing with the grease as this would reduce or even annul its lubricating effects.
Injection into the greasing points of a large quantity of grease at high pressure can damage the bearing protection.
Carefully read the warnings and precautions on the lubricant containers.
5.2 LUBRICATION
Lubrication of any machine with parts that turn and/or rub together is a vitally important task for the life and functionality of the
actual machine itself. Lubrication must therefore be carried out systematically and at the required intervals. The frequencies given
refer to machine use in a normal environment. If this machine is used in heavier duty conditions, it must naturally be lubricated
more frequently.
5.2.1 RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS
▪
It is advisable to lubricate the overdrive with: SAE 85W/140 OIL, complying with API-GL5/MIL-L-2105C specifications.
▪
For all greasing points, the Manufacturer recommends: LITHIUM GREASE.
When servicing the driveline, strictly comply with the instructions given by the driveline Manufacturer, in the specific operation
and maintenance manual with which each driveline is equipped.
5.2.2 AFTER THE FIRST 8 HOURS SERVICE
Each new machine must be checked after the first 8 hours service. Proceed in the following way:
▪
Check the general condition of the machine
▪
Make sure that all the screws are well tightened
▪
Check the cutting tools for wear and make sure that the bolts that fasten them are well tightened
▪
Check the level of the lubricants
5.2.3 EVERY 20 HOURS SERVICE
▪
Make sure that the screws that fix the cutting tools are well tightened
▪
Grease the driveline
5.2.4 EVERY 100 HOURS SERVICE
Check the level of the oil in the overdrive housing. If necessary, top it up through the plug on the top of the gearbox.
5.2.5 EVERY 500 HOURS SERVICE
Change the oil in the overdrive housing after every 500 hours service or at least once a year.
This operation must therefore be carried out with due care.
Lubricate and grease all the required points.
Use oil of the recommended type for topping up and changes.
Keep all lubricants well away from children's reach.
The operator should thoroughly wash himself after using lubricants.
Dispose of used oil in compliance with the anti-pollution laws.
