5.0 MAINTENANCE & SERVICE
5.1 SECURING THE SEED DRILL MACHINE FOR SERVICE
1. Never crawl under the machine's chassis unless tractor is shut off and the pressure from the
hydraulics has been bled off. Make sure hoses are disconnected from the tractor.
2. Make sure wing lock pins are securely placed and locked if servicing is necessary with the
wing sections folded up.
3. For all servicing and repair work on the hydraulic system, the wing sections must be folded
out and the opener shanks unit in the lowered position.
4. Disconnect the seed drill machine's power cable from the tractor during maintenance and
servicing.
5. Unplug modules whenever welding is being done on the drill.
5.2 GENERAL
1. A machine is only as good as the service it receives.
2. Grease the implement according to the grease table intervals, and always prior to and after
winter storage and after high‐pressure water cleaning. SEE “5.8 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE” ON
PAGE 102.
3. Before driving off, make sure that all screws and nuts are tight. During the season, check
periodically that the nuts and bolts have not worked loose and inspect joints and hydraulic ram
mountings for wear.
4. Check daily that the oil cooler is not blocked by dust and dirt, if installed.
5. Regularly check the air pressure in the transport and seed drill packer wheel tires.
6. Following 10‐15 km of transport on the road, re‐tighten the wheel nuts. Re‐tighten the nuts
similarly after changing wheels. Wheel nuts must be tightened and checked for tightness using
a torque wrench. SEE “3.2 TIRE TORQUE” ON PAGE 25.
