maintenance
Explanation:
This isn't much more than a guess due to lack of context. As suggested, cleaning or repair might, but if oiling, sharpening etc. are involved, then maintenance would work.

Thank you for your input. Maintenance fits the best in the context of this document, since it involves not only the cleaning, repair, but also oiling, sharpening of the disc cutters. Thank you very much.
