MAINTENANCE<br />

Properly performed, regular maintenance will keep the machine in good working order and is<br />

necessary to safety.<br />

Ploughhare maintenance<br />

The part ofthe ploughshare which suffers most<br />

wear (the tip), is composed of an<br />

interchangeable steel INSERT (part 8 on figure<br />

at side), which is much stronger than the rest of<br />

the share. This parallelepiped insert may be<br />

used on all four edges. and must then be<br />

replaced, thus preserving the share which will<br />

need replacing much later. When the first edge<br />

(1) is worn, when it is rounded, unscrew the two<br />

bolts (6) which fasten the insert to the<br />

ploughshare, turn the insert by 180 0 and<br />

refasten it with the nuts facing upwards. Now<br />

use edge (2). To use the remaining edges (3 and<br />

4), tum the insert upside down. After replacing<br />

the insert several times, check the side profile<br />

ofthe ploughshare, which was initially blunt, is ...... ......<br />

not too rounded. If so, remove it by unscrewing<br />

the fastening screws (5) and restore it to its original bluntness along line 7, using a normal abrasive<br />

disc.<br />

Lubrication<br />

Check the oil level every 100 hours of work:<br />

with the implement positioned so the rotor<br />

axle is vertical, unscrew the red cap (part 1 of<br />

figure at side) located on the main body ofthe<br />

rotary plough. Check that the oil comes out of<br />

the hole in the cap; if this does not happen,<br />

add SAE 80-90 gearbox oil.
