A great deal of Actisol equipment dating from the 2000s, 90s, 80s and even 70s is still in operation at our customers’ facilities. But how? Our equipment is designed to last, but that’s not all. Regular maintenance and checks on certain points will ensure that your cracker<\/a> <\/strong>has many more hectares on its clock ! Here’s our advice on how to maintain your equipment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Checking the condition of your machine is essential for its longevity. But you need to know when, to be most effective.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After the first few hours of operation<\/strong>, we strongly advise you to check and retighten all the screws and plugs, as well as the hydraulic connections. After all, the use of our equipment is unique to you. Plot, tractor, type of site… all factors that influence the behaviour of the standard assembly of workshop parts.<\/p>

During periods of use<\/strong>, there are a number of points to keep an eye on at regular intervals:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After your work<\/strong>, the entire tool should be cleaned and dried so that it can be completely overhauled before storage. Don’t hesitate to grease wear parts to avoid any \u2018sticking\u2019 effect when resuming work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The tool should be cleaned<\/strong> in an area where waste water can be collected. It is not recommended to clean the cylinders and bearings with a high-pressure cleaner or a direct jet, as this could damage the seals, which are not designed to be watertight in these conditions.<\/p>

To protect<\/strong> the paintwork on your Actisol, make sure you do not high-pressure clean from a distance of less than 50 cm.<\/p>

You can, however, clean your cracker<\/strong> during the season when conditions require it, in order to maintain its performance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We recommend storing your Actisol in a well-ventilated room sheltered from the elements. The storage surface should be stable<\/strong> and perfectly horizontal<\/strong>. To protect your tool against rust, you can use easily biodegradable oils, such as rapeseed oil.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Before resuming work, check the general condition of your Actisol<\/strong>, which will have been in storage for a few weeks. Check that the bolts are tight, that the wearing parts are in good condition and grease the tool.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Occasionally, you may run into problems on your construction sites. These well-known causes are sometimes the result of wear and tear or incorrect settings, and can be easily resolved<\/strong> :<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
