Maintenance and Lubrication
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.
Crushing Hazard:
Always have transport locks in place and frame sufficiently
blocked up when working on implement. You may be severely
injured or killed by being crushed under the falling implement.
1. After using your cart for several hours, check all bolts
to be sure they are tight.
2. Maintain proper air pressure in cart tires.
3. Clean cart on a regular basis. Fertilizers are gener-
ally corrosive to unprotected carbon steel. Regular
and thorough cleaning will lengthen equipment life
and reduce maintenance and repair.
4. Lubricate areas listed under “Lubrication and
Scheduled Maintenance” on page 28.
5. Replace any worn, damaged, or illegible safety
labels by obtaining new labels from your Great
Plains dealer.
