LUBRICATION

The components below must be greased according to below instruction
See the explaining sketch in the paragraph
LUBRICATION ONCE A DAY:
POS.
A Cardan joint and lock of the PTO
B Telescope axles of the PTO
C Agitator R and L
D Setting and closing shutter
E Adjustment axle
F Setting handle
G Connection rods
Note If the agitators are overgreased, a high pressure might restrict the rotation of the
C) agitator bearing. If this is the case the lubricator nipple must be demounted, which will
release the pressure. Grease sparingly – e.g. one pump/season.
PARTS GREASED ONCE:
The central and angle gears are filled with special grease and needs no
lubrication.
GENERAL
A new machine will always "move" a little bit in all nuts +bolts.
Therefore all nuts and bolts of the machine must be retightened - first
time it is put into operation - after 5 to 8 hours' operation.
Exception is the bolts in the central and angle gears – these are locked
with lock-tite.
Be aware that stainless nuts + bolts might "weld together" When mounting
such bolts – the thread must be greased with cutting lubricant or copper
grease !

SPREADING VANES

The spreading vanes are manufactured of high quality manganese steel,
NM12.
(MN 12 has a hardness corresponding to 3 times the hardness of stainless steel)
But still the vanes will be worn due to modern and abrasive fertilisers.
Therefore the vanes are to be considered a wearing part – that must be
exchanged dependent on the quantity and type of fertiliser.
Always clean the contact surfaces of the vanes and the spreading disc
for dust etc – before mounting and tightening the vane !
IF HOLES ARE WORN IN THE VANES THEY MUST BE
EXCHANGED AT ONCE!
