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.
1. After using your drill for several hours, check all
bolts to be sure they are tight. Periodically check
and secure all bolts, pins and fasteners. Tighten as
specified on
Torque Values Chart , page 57.
2. Clean or replace any fittings that will not take
grease. Lubricate the drill as noted under
Lubrication , page 47.
3. Clean nozzles on optional rear-mount boom with a
low pressure (less than 30 psi) air hose.
Periodically replace nozzles. Always wear rubber
gloves when making repairs or adjustments.
4. Adjust idlers to remove excess slack from chains.
Adjust gauge-wheel arm drive chain as explained
under
Gauge-Wheel Drive Adjustment , page 39.
Clean and use chain lube on all roller chains as
needed.
5. Always maintain correct tire pressure. Refer to Tire
Inflation Chart , page 57.
6. Occasionally inspect hydraulic hoses for cuts,
cracks and aging. Check fittings and cylinders for
evidence of leaks.
7. Check disk scrapers for proper adjustment. Refer to
Disk-Scraper Adjustment , page 39.
8. Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety
labels at once. Refer to
Safety Decals , page 5, for
correct label placement. Obtain new labels from
your Great Plains dealer.
Some chemicals will cause serious burns, lung damage and
death. Avoid contact with skin or eyes. Wear proper protective
equipment as required by chemical manufacturer. Avoid
prolonged breathing of chemical fumes. Wear respirator as
required by chemical manufacturer. Seek medical assistance
immediately if accident occurs. Know what to do in case of an
accident.
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed from a
falling implement. Always have transport locks in place and
frame sufficiently blocked up when working on implement.
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.
