After-Season Maintenance And Storing Of Machine - SaMASZ Z2-780 Operator's Manual

inspect condition of drive wheels and tyre pressure (recommended pressure is given in Tab. 1),

grease PTO shaft tubes with STP grease,

if necessary, lubricate the parts and units according to lubrication instructions (Chapter 7).

Parts which may cause risk to operator's health and safety are as follows: damaged rotors, missing
or damaged safety covers, PTO shaft guides, worn or bent tines and holders.

7.2. After-season maintenance and storing of machine

At the end of the season:
the rake should be cleaned, washed and dried. Carefully grease unpainted surfaces and 3-point

linkage pins
remove any traces of rust and paint the area affected,

check lubrication of intersecting axis gears. If leaks occur, remove them immediately,

periodically check the rake and secure the moving parts with grease to prevent the rake from

rust, which affects proper functioning of the rake.
the dismounted machine should be stored in a standstill position (unfolded tine arms together

with rotors, drive chassis set on the ground like in position to work, main frame rest on secured
support stand).
it is recommended to store the set on a paved ground, preferably in dry, roofed places,

inaccessible to unauthorized personnel (mainly children).
if the machine is exposed to weather conditions, apply lubrication regularly.

After longer idle periods:
inspect its technical condition with special attention paid to hydraulic and drive systems,

paint the area affected,

lubricate the parts and units,

inspect condition of drive wheels and tyre pressure (recommended pressure is given in Tab. 1),

make sure that all nuts and screws are tightened with correct torque (Tab. 5),

make sure that all guards are installed in place,

as the storing period is over lubricate the whole machine.

Tab. 5. Torque values for bolts
In the absence of specific torque values, the following chart can be used as a guide to the
maximum safe torque for a particular size and grade of fastener. There is no torque difference for
fine or coarse threads. Torque values are based on clean, dry threads. Reduce value by 10% if
threads are oiled before assembly.
