4. Servicing and
Maintenance
Follow the safety instructions for
servicing and maintenance.
4.1 Servicing
Your Single Beam Toolbar unit has been
designed and constructed for maximum
performance, operational efficiency and
operator friendliness under a wide variety of
operating conditions.
Prior to delivery, your Toolbar unit has been
checked at the factory and by your authorised
dealer to ensure that you receive it in optimum
condition.
To ensure trouble-free operation, it is
important that servicing and maintenance
work is performed at the recommended
intervals.
When changing points on tines
extreme care should be taken.
Wear goggles at all times when
changing tine points.
Donot attempt to assist fitting tine
points with a steel headed
hammer, as this can lead to
splintering of the metal due to it’s
hardness, which can cause injury.
If tine fitting requires assistance,
a copper/hide mallet should be
used. Wear eye protection.
4.2 Cleaning
In order to ensure that the Toolbar is always
in operating condition and to achieve
optimum performance, perform the cleaning
and servicing work at regular intervals.
4.3 Storage / Parking
In order to avoid damage as a result of
moisture, the machine should be parked, if
possible, indoors or under cover.
Servicing and Maintenance
4.5 Maintenance Intervals
Apart from daily maintenance, the
maintenance intervals are based on the
number of operating hours and time data.
Keep a record of your operating
hours to ensure that the specified
maintenance intervals are adhered
to as closely as possible.
Never use a Single Beam Toolbar
unit that is due for maintenance.
Ensure that all deficiencies found
during regular checks are remedied
immediately.
Place the machine on suitable
supports when working
underneath! Do not work under a
machine which is not supported!
On a new machine tighten all nuts and bolts
after 5 hours work and again after 15 hours.
This also applies to parts that have been
moved or replaced. After the initial 15 hours
of work a once a week check should be
sufficient depending on daily work rates.
