6.1 Routine maintenance
WARNING!
•
Before carrying out any maintenance operation, disconnect the tool from the compressed air hose.
•
All the maintenance operations which are not described in this manual have to be performed in a
CAMPAGNOLA S.r.l. Authorized Service Point.
•
The ordinary maintenance operations may be carried out by the operators.
6.1.1 General
Before any maintenance operations:
•
Engage the safety catch (23).
•
Disconnect the compressed air hose.
6.1.2 Lubrication
•
Every 20 working hours use an oiler to add some oil drops through the air fitting (26). Use Campagnola BIG FLU or low
toxic FUDY FLU.
•
Lubricate the link (6) of the rake (2) with spray grease.
•
Periodically check the oil level in the lubricator of the compressor (see the note in par. 4.2).
WARNING!
Do not use hydraulic oil or oil for braking systems. They may cause irreversible damages.
6.1.3 Cleaning and putting the tool away
•
At the end of work, it is good practice to pour some diesel fuel drops through the air fitting (26), located on the handle,
before putting the harvester away. To do this, make the tool idle for few seconds.
•
This will prevent dirt and moist air from forming build-ups.
WARNING!
Do not throw the oil out in the environment. Always observe current environmental protection laws when disposing
of the oil.
