16 - MAINTENANCE

16.1 - Contamination Risks

Important!Always dispose of waste properly in appropriate containers. Clean and protect the filler during maintenance, avoiding contamination of the system. 16.2 - Good Practices for Maintenance

- Check fluid levels: engine oil, hydraulic oil, engine coolant, and diesel fuel.

- Inspect blades on: side knives (if equipped), base cutter, chopper, topper, primary extractor, and secondary extractor (if equipped).

- Clean harvester of excess mud and trash.- Check engine belt and tensioner.- Check tension of elevator chain.- Check fluid level: final drives base cutter, chopper and pump drive

gear case.

9 - CHOPPERCuts the clean cane billets and then delivers the billets to the elevator basket.

Note:The choppers blades should always be in good condition and synchronized, thus reducing losses and increasing efficiency.

Adjust the length of the billets by turning handle (A).The lower the selected number, smaller will be length of the billets.

11 - ELEVATORTransports and dumps the chopped cane in transport systems.

11.1 - Operation ElevatorTo turn Off or On elevator, pressing switch (A).

Use switch (B) to swing elevator left or right, until desired position.

Press and hold elevator reverse switch (B) to operate elevator in reverse.

To raise or lower the elevator press switches (D and E).

Engage the extractor pressing switch (A).

Use switches (B) to rotate extractor hood to right or left.

Important!The coolant should be the proportion of water and additive recommended in the Operator’s Manual.

12.2 - Fuel SystemA - Primary Fuel FilterB - Secondary Fuel FilterC - Prefilter Element

Note:The fuel purity and cleanliness are factors for the proper functioning of the system.

12.4 - Lubrication SystemCheck level of engine oil, removing dipstick (A) and level should be in the range of the crosshatch pattern of the dipstick.

Note:See the Operator’s Manual for information about changing the oil and filter (B) system.
