Maintenance
Proper servicing and maintenance is the key to long
implement life. With careful and systematic inspection,
you can avoid costly maintenance, downtime and repair.
Always turn off and remove the tractor key before making
any adjustments or performing any maintenance.
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed under
the falling implement. Always have transport locks in place
and frame sufficiently blocked up when working on implement.
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure 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 paper or cardboard, not body parts,
and wear heavy gloves to check for suspected leaks. If injured,
seek immediate medical attention from a physician familiar
with this type of injury.
1. After using the drill for several hours, check all bolts
to be sure they are tight.
2. Lubricate areas listed under “Lubrication” on page

3. Adjust idlers to remove excess slack from chains.
Clean and use chain lube on all roller chains as
needed.
