MAINTENANCE
Bevel gear
The bevel gear is filled with the right quantity of grease at the factory. However, before using the machine you should check that the bevel gear is filled
CAUTION! The gear housing must not be filled completely with grease. The grease expands as the machine heats up during operation. If the gear housing was completely filled with grease it could damage the seals and lead to leakage of grease.
The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to be changed except if repairs are carried out.
Replacing the tine
Loosen the split pin and cotter pin.
Remove the tine unit from the angle gear’s output axle.
Loosen the 3 screws holding the tine.
Replace the tine with a new and assemble in the reverse order.
