5. OPERATION First read carefully the Operating Instructions and the Safety Instructions. The machine may not be used before reading the instructions!
Operation of a new machine: NOTE! The machine has been tested and adjusted by JUKO for the testing on the factory. The adjustments are average adjustments. In order to obtain the best possible results, make the adjustments suitable for your own needs before using the machine.
In a new machine the parts settle in place only after a couple of hours' work. Therefore the tightness of all screws, nuts and chains must be checked after 1-2 hours of work. The torque levels can be seen in Section 7.2.
Before further use for a new season: CHECK: - tyre pressure - condition of roller chains; change if needed - condition of bearings; change if needed - functions of feeding equipment by making a few turns with the calibration crank both on the fertilizer and seed units - springs of bottom flaps - worn coulters; repair or change if necessary - tightness of bearings of seed coulters; they should lower down by their own weight - level of oil in Optiseed; add if necessary -tightness of screws, nuts and chains - condition of hydraulic hoses and adaptors - functioning of area meter - lubrication and greasing of the machine - sliding of the feed tubes within each other by lifting each seed coulter. If there is friction in the telescope, disconnect the outer tube from the top and spray with silicone to improve sliding - functioning of the clutch - Change broken parts if needed. - Order spare parts well before the following season. - When ordering spare parts, mention the model and serial number of the machine.
