7. Adjustments and operations Direction of the maneuvers As previously mentioned, this disk harrow provides several working angles to operate properly in all types of soil. However, this disk harrow requires certain care during operations, like never make maneuvers to the right, because the angle formed on its vertex transmits great effort to the equipment, overloading traction components such as the hitch bar, the drawbar and other fixation parts.
8. Maintenance DANGER • Only QUALIFIED, CAPABLE and AUTHORIZED personnel must carry out the maintenance of the equipment. • Every maintenance must follow the recommendations that are included on the NR-12 (July/19 version) on the chapter 'maintenance, inspection, preparation, adjustment and repairs' (from item 12.11.1 to 12.11.5). •...
8. Maintenance Lubrication Ideal level Ideal level WARNING • The suitable level is when the oil reaches the hole of the plug, being the disk harrow in a flat place. • The oil volume on the DM bearings is 130 ml. Lubrication points Lubricate every 24 hours of service.

Page 59
8. Maintenance Tires inflation • The tires must always be properly inflated to avoid premature wear for excess or lack of pressure. • Do not attempt to mount the tires without experience and adequate equipment. • Maintain the correct tire pressure. Never inflate the tires beyond the recommended pressure.
Page 60
8. Maintenance Disk harrow maintenance - During offseason wash the equipment, repair any damaged paintwork, protect the disc blades with oil and lubricate all grease fittings. - The disc blades must be replaced as soon as they are providing a low yield, mainly because of the reduction in its diameter, loss of cut and other damages that may occur during the job.
8. Maintenance Important recommendations 1. Retighten nuts and bolts after the first day of work and check the conditions of all pins and cotter pins. Then, retighten every 24 operating hours. 2. Carefully observe the lubrication intervals. 3. Special attention should be given to the disc gangs, retightening daily during the first week of use.
Page 62
8. Maintenance Important recommendations 13. The harrowed ground is always to the left hand side of the operator. 14. The tractor drawbar must remain fixed during work and transportation. 15. Before maneuvering on the edge of the field, activate the hydraulic cylinder gradually to lift the disc gangs.
