Remove any traces of rust and paint the area affected,
❑
Check the oil level in the angle drives and the cutter bar (Section 7). If leaks are found, remove them
❑
immediately and refill the oil. If water in oil is found, immediately change the oil as it could cause
corrosion of internal mechanisms such as gear wheels, bearings, or shafts, and thus breakdowns,
Periodically inspect the mower and lubricate moving parts in order to protect them against
❑
corrosion having adverse effects on the proper operation of the mower,
Check hydraulic hoses regularly. Replace any damaged or old hoses. Always replace hoses that
❑
have been in use more than 5 years from the date of their manufacture printed on them.
Tab. 5. Torque values for bolts
After storage period, before the machine is used:
heck the mower's technical condition, and the transmission in particular,
❑
supplement the paint where missing,
❑
make sure that all nuts and screws are tightened properly,
❑
make sure that all guards are in place,
❑
protect all moving parts with grease in order to prevent their baking and creating any sources of
❑
corrosion, which significantly influences mower's proper operation,
check oil level in axis gears and cutter bar. If leaks are found remove them immediately and refill
❑
the oil. If water in oil is found, immediately change the oil as it could cause corrosion of internal
mechanisms such as gear wheels, bearings, or shafts, and cause breakdowns.
7. LUBRICATING
7.1. Risks present when lubricating
If risk of splashing is present, make sure to wear protective eyewear with side guards.
❑
When lubricating protect eyes and skin against contact with the substance. Therefore use adequate
❑
protective wear with long sleeves and protective footwear. Also use protective gloves. In case of
a contact with skin, immediately wash the infected area with plenty of water with soap.
Do not allow the product to contaminate water outlets, water courses and soils.
❑
In case of an unintentional release to the environment plug the leak, limit the spillage, and then
❑
collect the oil with non-flammable absorbent material (e.g. sand).
The product is flammable. In case of fire, use adequate fire-extinguishing means (e.g. foam, water
❑
mist, extinguishing powders). Do not use water jets.
