Marker Hydraulic Bleeding
Do not allow anyone near the drill when
markers are in motion. Sudden and
irregular motion due to air in the system
may result in serious injury or death.
Hydraulic Hose Damage Risk
Be careful when folding and unfolding
markers for the first time. Check for
pinching and kinking of hoses.
1. Clear all objects from the area.
2. With markers unfolded in field position, crack the
hydraulic-hose JIC fittings at the base (1) and rod
ends (2) of each marker cylinder.
3. With the tractor at idle speed, activate the tractor
hydraulic valve forward until oil appears at a
fitting. When oil begins to seep out around a
fitting, tighten that fitting. Reverse the tractor
hydraulic valve until oil appears at the opposite
hose fitting. Tighten that fitting.
4. Activate the tractor hydraulic valve forward again
until oil seeps out around a fitting on the other
marker cylinder. Tighten that fitting. Reverse the
tractor hydraulic valve until oil seeps out around
the remaining hose fitting and tighten the fitting.
5. Fold and unfold markers slowly to work out all air.
Seed Flap Replacement
To replace a seed flap (1), use a needle nose pliers
or similar tool to grasp the
T
at the top of the flap. Pull
up to pull the flap up out of the metal bracket (2).
Push a new seed flap down through the metal
bracket until the flap snaps into place with the T top
resting on top of the bracket.
If a seed firmer is also installed, it may be necessary
to shorten the flap.
Lubrication
If any movable parts such as levers, pivots, and
clamps are not moving smoothly due to rust or
hindering material, do not attempt to force parts into
motion. Instead, remove the rust or unwanted
material and apply oil or grease on the relevant spot.
Otherwise, machine may become damaged through
impaired usage.
Apply a small amount of grease to the following
areas at the hourly intervals indicated. If you operate
the machine in extremely wet and/or muddy
conditions, lubricate grease fittings more frequently.
Grease Fittings
Lubricate with grease at the hourly interval indicated
in the arrow.
