Maintenance and Lubrication
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:
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed under a
falling implement. Always have frame sufficiently blocked up
when working on, and particularly under implement.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Check all hydraulic lines and fittings before applying pressure.
Use paper or cardboard, not body parts, and wear heavy
gloves to check for suspected leaks. Escaping fluid under
pressure can have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin.
Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible.
If injured, seek immediate medical attention from a physician
familiar with this type of injury.
After using drill for several hours, check all bolts to be
sure they are tight.
1. Securely block drill before working on it.
2. Lubricate areas listed under “Lubrication and
Scheduled Maintenance” on page 90.
3. Clean any fittings that do not take grease.
4. Inflate tires as specified on “Tire Inflation Chart” on
page 103.
5. Inspect hydraulic hoses for cuts, cracks and aging.
Check fittings for evidence of leaks.
6. Keep disk scrapers properly adjusted.
7. Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety
decals. Order new decals from your Great Plains
dealer. “Safety Decals” on page 7.
