This section helps you prepare your tractor and SS0300
Product for use, and covers tasks that need to be done
seasonally, or when the tractor/product configuration

Before using the product in the field, you must hitch it to
a suitable tractor, inspect systems and level the product.
Before using the product for the first time, and
periodically thereafter, certain adjustments and
calibrations are required.
Prior to Going to the Field Checklist
Complete this checklist before routine setup:

Read and understand “ Important Safety
Information ” on page 3.

Check that all working parts are moving freely, bolts
are tight, and cotter pins are spread.

Make sure your tractor horsepower matches the
implement you are pulling. This is important so the
implement can do the best possible job.
 Check that all grease fittings are in place and
lubricated. See “ Lubrication ” on page 20. The hubs
will come pre-greased and will not need greased at
this time.
 Check that all safety decals and reflectors are
correctly located and legible. Replace if damaged.
See “ Safety Reflectors and Decals ” on page 7.

Inflate tires to pressure recommended and tighten
wheel bolts as specified. See “ Tire Inflation Chart ”
on page 23.
