DC MERRETT & COMPANY LIMITED Agricultural machinery care tips to avoid damage
Read the instruction manual Pay attention to the instructions and don't be surprised if there are any warnings from the manufacturer about misuse or repair. Even though they are resistant, agricultural machinery is just as susceptible to wear and tear and failure as other mechanical devices. Ah! Don't forget the manual!
Have a usage report A report can be used to plan revisions or determine what maintenance is required based on the usage history. It's important to record when and how often the machine was used. Also, it is worth noting weather conditions, including any unusual weather. It is a good idea to get the guidance and help of a trusted mechanic to record everything!
Clean correctly and frequently It is a common care that agricultural machinery requires, but it is often not taken as seriously. It is often overlooked that the inside of an agricultural machine receives more attention than the exterior. It is essential to change filters, oil level, pressure, and clean the injection nozzles at least once every 1,000 hours. Cleaning the front mask, straps and axles as well as lashing must all be done in accordance with the instructions.
Be aware of abnormalities Your equipment is your best friend. If you hear noises, if the operation is different than usual, or if there are vibrations, smoke, or indications on the panels, stop using the equipment and contact a specialist service for maintenance.
Perform preventive maintenance This is a familiar song, but it's worth repeating: Follow the instructions in the manual and maintain your vehicle according to its hours and use. It's better to ensure that the maintenance is done in a way that gives the impression that everything is fine than to spend more money on corrective repairs. It also prevents you from interrupting your work due to an unexpected stop.
Demand the use of quality parts for repair Parts without guaranteed origin are a breach of all the care that has been taken to ensure that our list of agricultural machines is accurate. While it is not a requirement to purchase original parts from the manufacturer, the selection of the brand you choose must be made carefully as the correct functioning and operation of the machine within the manufacturer's specifications are dependent on it.
