Maintenance and Lubrication
Maintenance
Proper servicing and adjustment are key to long
life of any farm implement. With careful and sys-
tematic inspection, you can avoid costly
maintenance, time and repair.
Always turn off and remove tractor key before
making any adjustments or performing any
maintenance.
!
WARNING
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed
by the falling implement. Always have transport locks
in place and frame sufficiently blocked up when work-
ing on implement.
!
WARNING
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pres-
sure to penetrate the skin. Check all hydraulic lines
and fittings before applying pressure. Fluid escaping
from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use pa-
per or cardboard, not body parts, and wear heavy
gloves to check for suspected leaks. If injured, seek
medical assistance from a doctor that is familiar with
this type of injury. Foreign fluids in the tissue must be
surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene
will result.
1. After using implement for several hours,
check all bolts to be sure they are tight.
2. Inflate tires as specified on Tire Inflation
Chart, “Appendix,” page 80.
3. Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safe-
ty decals. Obtain new decals from your Great
Plains dealer. Refer to Safety Decals, “Impor-
tant Safety Information,” page 7 for decal
placement.
4. Check drill drive chains for wear. Replace if
necessary. Adjust idlers to remove excess
slack from chains.
