MAINTENANCE
Hydraulic System
Check the hydraulic lines and cylinders for leaks before
starting operation each day.

CAUTION
When the machine is not to be used for some time,
exposed portions of the cylinder rods should be cleaned
and covered with a thin coat of grease. This will prevent
corrosion which will damage cylinder seals.
Bleeding Hydraulic Cylinders
The first time the machine is connected to the tractor, or
any time the hydraulic circuit is opened, air must be bled
from the system.
Tires
Recommended tire sizes are as follows: 5-shank models,
use 9. 5 L x 1511, 6 ply (inflate to 28 p.s.i.). 7-shank
models, use 11 L x 1511, 8 ply (inflate to 32 p.s.i.).
Maintenance Routine
Beginning Of Day
• Check for and tighten any loose U-bolts holding
spring clamps to frame. See Torque Chart.
End of Day
• Clean dirt and residue from implement.

Beginning of Season
• Grease all grease fittings.
• Tighten all loose bolts, U-bolts.

Escaping fluid under pressure can be nearly
invisible and have enough force to penetrate the
skin causing serious injury. Use a piece of
cardboard, rather than hands to search for
suspected leaks. Wear protective gloves and
safety glasses or goggles when working with the
hydraulic system.
