OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Tractor Preparation
The Landoll 5211 Grain Drill is designed to be pulled by
tractor equipped with a double lip or clevis type hitch. If
your tractor is not equipped as such, you need to
purchase the hitch from your local tractor dealer.
Before attaching the Grain Drill, prepare the tractor as
follows:
1.
Inflate the rear tractor tires equally and add ballast
according to the tractor operator’s manual.
2. Lock the tractor drawbar in the center position.
Grain Drill Preparation
1. Prior to operating the 5211 Grain Drill, read and
understand the operator's manual and all decals.
2. Inspect the machine thoroughly for good operating
condition.
3. Replace worn or missing parts.
4. When the machine is new, check the screw tightness
after a few hours of operation. Tighten any loose nuts
or screws. Check the lift wheel lug screws daily.
5. Check the lift wheel tire inflation. Inflate all tires
equally to avoid side draft. Follow the tire
manufacturer’s recommended pressures listed on
the sidewall of the tires.
6. Check opener scrapers for proper adjustment to the
disc blades (See “Opener Scraper Adjustment” on
page 4-27.)
7. Lubricate the machine (See “Lubrication
Maintenance” on page 4-40 and Figure 4-36 on
page 4-39).
8. Check that all safety decals and reflectors are
correctly located and legible. Replace if damaged.
