Owner Service 16
• NEVER GO UNDERNEATH EQUIPMENT.
Never place any part of the body underneath
equipment or between moveable parts even
when the engine has been turned off. Hydraulic
system leak down, hydraulic system failures,
mechanical failures or movement of control levers
can cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpect-
edly and cause severe injury or death.
• Service work does not require going under-
neath.
• Read Manual for service instructions or have
service performed by a qualified dealer.
The information in this section is written for oper-
ators who possess basic mechanical skills. If you
need help, your dealer has trained service techni-
cians available. For your protection read and fol-
low the safety information in this manual.
Owner should check and tighten all hardware
after the first hour of operation. The break in
stage of your new cultipacker can cause minimal
loosening of hardware. Please see Bolt Torque
Chart (page 33) for proper torque information.
CP-48L and CP-72L come with greasable bear-
ings. These bearings require lubrication every 8
working hours.
• Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
• Before dismounting power unit or performing
any service or maintenance, follow these steps:
disengage power to equipment, lower the 3 point
hitch and all raised components to the ground,
operate valve levers to release any hydraulic
pressure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove
key and unfasten seat belt.
• Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing and
head.
Storage
When storing your Cultipacker make sure park-
ing stands are in place, the unit is placed on
level ground and clear of any obstructions. Use
