4.16 PREPARING FOR STORAGE
To prepare the 77C/107C Drill for storage, perform the following steps:
1. Install safety stop bar to keep planting units off the ground and to minimize rusting. Before drill is stored,
clean out slides should be opened to remove as much seed and fertilizer as possible. Both tanks should
be flushed out thoroughly to prevent any caking of seed or fertilizer. Open and close slides while flushing
to allow any fertilizer that might be under the calibration slide to work its way free. Fertilizer can be
damaging if left in contact with metal parts for a prolonged period.
2. Clean all mud, dirt, grease and other foreign material from the exterior of the machine. Wash the complete
machine. Repaint places where bare metal is exposed - this will inhibit rusting.
3. After inside of the tank is thoroughly dry, apply a coat of oil or diesel fuel to calibration slide, bearings
and other parts that have been in contact with fertilizer or seed.
4. Remove the chains and wash them in solvent. Using a clean cloth, wipe off the chains. Soak the chains
in engine oil. Drain off the excess oil and install the chains on the grain drill.
5. Coat all chains and exposed hydraulic cylinder rod with a Valvoline Tectyl 506 oil or equivalent.
6. Lubricate machine thoroughly according to the lubrication instructions.
7. Drain water from ballast tanks, if installed.
8. If possible, store the machine in a dry, protected place. If it is necessary to store the machine outside,
cover it with plastic, waterproof canvas, or other suitable protective material.
9. Check the machine for any worn or broken parts. By ordering parts now, you will avoid delays when it
is time to remove the machine from storage. When ordering parts always specify machine serial number
and the part number of the replacement part. Part numbers can be found in the Parts List Manual.
4.17 REMOVING FROM STORAGE
To remove the 77C/107C Drill from storage, perform the following steps:
1. Remove all protective coverings.
2. Remove all excess oil from chains and cylinder rods. Lubricate machine in accordance with lubrication
instructions found in this manual.
3. Check all hydraulic hoses for deterioration and, if necessary, replace. Tighten any loose bolts, nuts and
hydraulic fittings.
4. Follow prestarting inspection.
CLEAN
grain tanks and/or legume boxes on the 77C/107C Drill after using inoculated, treated or
coated seeds. Failure to clean tanks will cause damage to moving parts. This damage is NOT covered
by warranty. Always add graphite to treated seeds.
