MAINTENANCE

FILTER REPLACEMENT

The Filter Element, Situated in the filter unit in the top of the tank, must be replaced initially after 50 Hours work, and thereafter every 500 hours of work, or after two season's work, which ever is sooner.

POWER TAKE-OFF SHAFT

The PTO requires some routine maintenance to ensure a trouble free life of the PTO shaft. For best results:

A.Grease both ends of PTO shaft daily.

B.Grease the PTO shaft tubes regularly.

C.Ensure check chains are securely attached and in good condition.

D.Check that PTO guard is in good condition and replace if not.

E.Check universal joint bearing journals for roughness or slackness. Replace if necessary.

HOSES AND ROTOR DRIVE CIRCUIT

It is false economy to try and make a damage hose last a bit longer, because a failure can spill several gallons of oil on the road endangering traffic and costing money. To reduce the risk of this happening and ensure a long life from the hoses follow instructions given below:

A.Check weekly that all hoses and their connections (with particular attention to the rotor drive circuit) are in good condition and that there are no leaks or damage.

B.Replace any hose that is leaking or damaged.

C.Ensure that hoses have not chafed against sharp edges. If they have, inspect damage and replace if necessary.

D.Re-route any hose that has been chafing.

E.Ensure that when fitting hoses that they are fitted without kinks or sharp bends.

F.Pay particular attention to the suction hose from tank to pump.

G.If in doubt about the condition of a hose REPLACE IT.

HYDRAULIC OILS

Only use Universal Hydraulic Oil part number 02960575.

PUMP

A 'noisy' pump (whistling or screaming) means that there is air in the rotor drive circuit.

A.STOP THE MACHINE AT ONCE.

B.Locate air entry.

C.Fix and test carefully.
