Maintenance and Lubrication
General Maintenance
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to long
implement life. With careful and systematic inspection,
you can avoid costly maintenance, downtime and
repair.
Always turn off and remove the tractor key before
making any adjustments or performing maintenance.
Crushing Hazard:
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed under
the falling implement. Always have transport locks in place
and frame sufficiently blocked up when working on
implement.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to
penetrate the skin. Check all hydraulic lines and fittings
before applying pressure. Fluid escaping from a very small
hole can be almost invisible. Use paper or cardboard, not
body parts, and wear heavy gloves to check for suspected
leaks. If injured, seek medical assistance from a doctor that is
familiar with this type of injury.
1. After using your drill for several hours, check all
bolts to be sure they are tight.
2. Lubricate areas as noted under Lubrication
(Intervals) , next page.
3. Adjust idlers to remove excess slack from chains.
Clean and use chain lube on all roller chains as
needed.
4. Always maintain correct tire pressure. Refer to Tire
Inflation Chart , page 58.
5. Clean out build up of seed treatment in feed cups.
6. Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety
labels at once. Refer to Safety Labels , “ Important
Safety Information ,” page 1, for correct label
placement. Obtain new labels from your Great
Plains dealer.
