Amazone KG 3000 / 3001 Special / Super rotary cultivator; KE 02 rotary harrow service schedule

1. Lower the implement, stop the tractor and take the key out.
2. Clean the nipples and the gun first so no dirt is pushed in.
3. Grease until the old dirty grease is fully pushed out of the bearings.
4. Do the roller flange bearings, the levelling bar threads and the Liftpack points (KG), or the marked points on the lubrication decal (KE).

Tools: Grease gun, Rags

1. Clean the implement first so no dirt falls into the trough.
2. Park level. Check the gearbox level on the dipstick and top up if needed.
3. Trough: undo the nut and cover bolt, lift the cover with its breather pipe, and check the spur gears are half covered with oil. Top up with CLP 460 oil if not.
4. Check the gasket, refit the cover, bolt and nut.
5. KG: blow the trough breather tube clear with compressed air.

Tools: Rag, Funnel, Compressed air

1. Raise the implement, support it on stands, stop the tractor and take the key out.
2. Measure the tines. Replace any at or under 150 mm.
3. Pull the linch pin, drive the pin out of the rotor carrier from below, and pull out the tine.
4. Fit the new tine for that rotor's direction. The outer left carrier turns clockwise; on the KE the outer carriers always turn towards the centre.
5. Fit the pin and secure it with the linch pin.
6. KG on-grip tines can be built back up with weld-on tips (see the manual).

Tools: Rule, Hammer and drift, Stands, Gloves

1. Lower the implement, stop the tractor and take the key out.
2. Slacken the scraper bolt and slide the scraper in its slot to the right gap: KW/KWM 10–15 mm; PW 1–4 mm; TRW 1–4 mm (KE). KG wedge ring roller: at least 1 cm.
3. Tighten the bolt. Turn the roller to check the gap all round.
4. Replace a scraper that can no longer be adjusted.

Tools: Spanners, Rule

1. Let the oil cool fully.
2. Undo the four bolts and lift off the filter pot without spilling oil.
3. Fit a new filter and refit the pot.
4. Check the breather tube is not blocked, and top up the gearbox to the upper dipstick mark.

Tools: Spanner, Drip tray

1. Park the implement level, stop the tractor and take the key out. Let hot oil cool a little: wear gloves.
2. Put a tray under the gearbox drain plug, pull the dipstick and take out the drain plug.
3. Let it drain, then refit the drain plug with a new sealing ring.
4. Oil cooler (if fitted, KG): with cold oil, undo the four bolts, take off the filter pot without spilling, change the filter and refit the pot.
5. Fill through the dipstick hole with the right oil and amount for your model.
6. KG: the level should be between the dipstick marks (on the upper mark with an oil cooler). KE: between the marks. Fit the dipstick with a new sealing ring, hand tight.
7. The dipstick has a breather. Make sure it seats firmly, or the gearbox will leak. Never mix oil types.
