Maintaining your RM Hard Hose

As winter begins many irrigators will be packing up and preparing their machinery for spending the next few months in the shed.

Now is the perfect time to complete any maintenance and repairs to avoid downtime and costly breakdowns during the season.

For a smooth season it is recommended that RM Hard Hoses are serviced by a technician every 300hrs of operation. For most irrigators, this occurs annually.

However, there are some simple things you can do to maintain your machine between services:

  • Check all Grease Points

  • Grease the hose guide screw

  • Grease the drive chain and layer-winder chain

  • Grease the chain dog

  • Check the gearbox oil level

  • Check all bolts are tight

  • Tyre Nuts

  • Drawbar Bolts

  • Gearbox Mounting Bolts

  • Check for leaks in hydraulic lines

  • Check all tyres

If you have any questions or concerns about the operation of your machine call our team for troubleshooting and support.
