CLEANING AND OILING THE CUTTERS
Mowing bar cleaning and oiling are very dangerous poerations.
Always comply with the following instructions:
- Lift the implement by means of the lift links in a flat place where
it cannot slip;
- Operate the mowing bar, checking that there are no persons or
animals in the vicinity;
- Brake the tractor and make sure it is unable to move;
- Wash the mowing bar with a jet of pressurized water, standing
at least one and a half meters away from the implement;
- Switch off the tractor, remove the starter key and disengage the
pto;
- Check the condition of the cutters;
- When the mowing bar is dry, oil the cutters with very viscous
oil;
- Operate the mowing bar for a few seconds, cheking that there
are no persons or animals in the vicinity;
- Switch off the tractor, remove the starter key and disengage the
pto;
- Fit the guards over the cutters and outer skid (C, Fig. 35)
EACH START OF SEASON
At the start of each season it is important to check that the
connection between the tooth-holding bar (D, Fig. 36) and the
blade guide (E) is correct.
After many hours of work, wear of the blade guide material may
be seen, and this will cause an increase in the coupling tolerance
with the tooth blade.
It is therefore advisable to restore the correct tolerance:
- unscrew the blade guide (Fig. 36);
- remove one or more shims (Fig. 37);
- put the blade guide back in the same position.
IMPORTANT: when replacing the teeth or the tooth-holding bar,
carry out the check described above. When required, put back
the shims to avoid striation or damage.
STORAGE
It is advisable to proceed in the following way at the end of the
season or if the machine is to remain inactive for a long period of
time:
- Treat the implement in compliance with the instructions given
in the chapter entitled: "Cleaning and oiling the cutters".
- Carefully check for any damaged or worn parts and replace
these as necessary.
- Fully torque all screws and bolts.
- Apply a little lubricant to the unpainted parts.
- Protect the entire implement with a tarpaulin.
- Lastly, store the implement in a dry place where it cannot be
tampered with by unauthorized persons; the mowing
machine must be set-up on flat and compact ground,
supported by the relative bearing struts (F-G, Fig. 38).
Careful compliance with these instructions will be all to the
advantage of the user who will be sure to use an implement in
perfect conditions when work begins again.
