Maintenance & Care
Maintenance Schedule (Continued)
3 Roller Chains
Pedestal and agitator drive
chains (1) Fig 19 & (2) Fig 21
should first be checked after 20
hours of operation and thereafter
every 200 hours of operation as
follows:-
Remove the chain, wash in
kerosene and then dip them in
heated grease or oil or spray
them with a suitable commercial
roller chain lubricant.
4 Drive Cassettes
Drive cassettes (2) Fig 19 are
fully enclosed and therefore dirt
build up around the chain is less
likely. A pre-season internal
inspection of the drive cassttes
is recommended to ensure the
chain and sprockets are in good
working order. The drive
cassettes pivots should be
greased weekly to keep the plastic bushes and housings
lubricated. Regular greasing will also flush out
contaminants from the running surfaces.
5 Wheel Leg Pivots
Wheel leg pivots (2 per machine) must be greased
regularly (weekly or after 75Ha) to provide lubrication and
flush out any contaiminants.
6 Framework
The framework structure should be inspected annually for
defects, i.e., cracks in members or welded connections.
The framework should be cleaned prior to the inspection.
7 Type Pressure
The recommended tyre pressure is 2.4 bar (35 psi). Check
the tyre pressure regularly to ensure correct pressure is
maintained. Weekly checks are recommended.
8 Length of Seed/Fertiliser Tubes
These tubes can stretch over a period of time and require
checking at approximately six monthly intervals (pre-
seaon). Shorten if necessary to avoid bends which will
restrict the flow of seed/fertiliser.
