MAINTENANCE

It is recommended you to carry out required maintenance processes before and after each planting season so that you can use the drill for many years.


Safety Measures to be Taken and Obeyed during Maintenance

1- Before starting maintenance, repair and cleaning, you must definitely remove the connection between seed drill and tractor.

2- If the maintenance will be performed while machine is lifted, insert safety supports which can hold the weight under the machine.

3- While parts with cutting surfaces and sides are changing, you must definitely use appropriate gloves and equipment.

4- If repair will be made by electric or gas metal arc welding on the machine, clean the oiled parts or do not make welding operation on the parts which cannot be cleaned.

5- Supply the manufacturer-specific parts as original. As for commercial spare parts (bolt, loaves, chain, etc.), choose the marks and products which have quality certificates.


Activities should be performed AT THE END OF Planting Season

• Empty the seed and fertilizer reservoirs of your machine and clean with water (pressured water is recommended, if any) and then drain.

• Clean the oils rubbed off on the parts, which are not run by oil, by the help of a clean cloth or oakum.

• Pressure oil into the grease nipples which should be greased.

• Grease the chains with chain oil.

• Clean the mud wherever is rubbed off.

• If possible, keep your machine in a closed area. If it is not possible, keep safe your machine from bad air conditions by the help of a canvas roof.


Activities should be performed BEFORE Planting Season

• Check the oil levels of the Seed and Fertilizer adjustment gearboxes. If there is oil under the level of observation glass, complete this lacking with transmission oil numbered 140.

• By means of connecting machine to tractor and pressing oil to the system, check if there is leakage in the hydraulic hoses, connection points and hydraulic pistons. If there are points leaking oil, repair them.

• Check whether moving parts, parts working by ball-bearing have a difficulty in moving or not.

• Complete the diminished oil by means of pressing thin grease oil into grease nipples until they overflow.

• Check tension of movement drive chains. Fix the loosened chains again on the stretch by means of tension adjustor mechanism.

• Control if there is any broken, loosened, corroded part such as bolt, loaves, spring, pin, etc. by hand and visually. Replace the corroded, broken or cracked parts with the new ones.

• Check the tire air pressure and tire surfaces of movement wheel. Tire pressure should be completed as so 2,5 bar (365 PSI).

• Control if there is any loosening on seed and fertilizer gear valves while valve is at the position of 1.
