CAUTION:
Be careful when using diesel fuel so that it does not ignite.
Serious injury or death to you or others can result. Use only
in well ventilated areas away from any sparks or flames.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT allow diesel fuel (or any other petroleum product)
to come in contact with the rubber tubes as it will cause
deterioration.
1. Locate a flat level surface to store drill, then follow safe detaching procedures.
2. Store in transport position with lift cylinder lockouts in place.
3. If setting drill on ground, place a wood board under openers so that openers do
not penetrate the ground. Lower openers and remove pressure from hydraulic
system.
4. Coat opener disks with oil or grease. Then lower on to board for storage.
5. Open the feed cups to their largest or wide open setting. Jack the drill up and
rotate the drive wheel to remove any material left in the cup rotors.
6. Paint all bare metal and rust spots. Matching paint can be ordered from your
local CrustBuster dealer.
7. Spray all moving parts with diesel fuel or lubricating oil. Move adjuster lever back
and forth while spraying. Spray each feed cup, inside and outside. Work the
adjustment levers back and forth while spraying. The cost of the fuel or oil is
insignificant, when the alternative is considered.
8. For drills that have used fertilizer and/or treated seed (both highly corrosive
materials), coat the entire box, inside and outside, with diesel fuel. DO NOT
allow fuel to contact rubber seed tubes.
9. Lubricate the drill. See lubrication, maintenance, and service page.
10. Clean chains with diesel fuel. Apply new oil before storing the drill.
11. For row markers, if drill is stored with the cylinder rod extended, apply light coat
of grease to exposed area of rod.
