Section 4: Maintenance & Lubrication
General Maintenance
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life
of any implement. With careful inspection and routine
maintenance, you can avoid costly downtime and repair.
The parts on your Primary Seeder have been specially
designed and should only be replaced with genuine Land
Pride parts. Do not alter the seeder in a way which will
adversely affect its performance.
1.
After using your seeder for several hours, check all
bolts to be sure they are tight.
2.
Lubricate areas noted in the “Lubrication” section.
3.
Adjust idlers to remove excess slack from chains.
Clean and use chain lube on all roller chains as
needed.
4.
Feed cup drive sprocket should be oiled in its square bore.
Move feed cup adjustment lever away from sprocket as far
as possible in order to get oil back into square.
5.
Always maintain proper air pressure in tires.
6.
Replace any worn, damaged, or illegible safety labels by
obtaining new labels from your Land Pride Dealer.
7.
Inspect safety chain and hardware for wear or other
damage.
Tractor Maintenance
One of the most important things you can do to prevent
hydraulic system problems is ensure that your tractor's
reservoir remains free of dirt and contamination.
Use a clean cloth to wipe hose ends before attaching
them to your tractor. Replace your tractor’s hydraulic filter
element at the prescribed intervals. These simple
maintenances will go a long way to prevent occurrence of
control valve and hydraulic cylinder problems.
Storage
Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the seeder when parking it for long periods and when
parking it at the end of a working season. This will help
ensure the seeder is ready for field use the next time you
hook-up to it.
1.
Remove any dirt or grease that may have
accumulated on the seeder and any of the moving
parts.
2.
Be sure that the seed box is completely cleaned
before storing. See "Seed Clean-Out" on page 23.
3.
The square bore of the feed cup drive sprocket hub
should be oiled to prevent seizing. Squirt oil on to the
square feed cup shaft and move feed cup adjustment
lever back and forth in order to get the oil back into
the square.
4.
Inspect for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust
or replace as needed.
5.
Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your Land Pride dealer for aerosol
touch-up paint. Paint is also available in touch-up
bottles with brush, quarts, and gallon sizes by adding
TU, QT, or GL to the end of the aerosol part number.
6.
Replace all damaged or missing decals.
7.
Lubricate all fittings as indicated in the following
illustrations.
8.
For seeders with front or end wheels, apply a light
coat of oil to exposed cylinder rods.
9.
When in storage, lower the seeder with rollers on a
board or hard surface and adjust parking stand or
tongue jack.
10. Store seeder inside if possible. Inside storage will
reduce maintenance and make for a longer seeder
life.
