6. Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety de-
cals by obtaining new decals from your Great Plains
Dealer.
Storage
1. Clean the implement as necessary. Be sure that the
seed boxes are completely cleaned before storing.
2. Lubricate and adjust all roller chains.
3. Lubricate all pivots as indicated in the following illus-
trations.
4. Be sure to oil the seed-cup-drive sprocket before
storing the implement. Squirt oil on to the square
seed-cup shaft and move seed-cup-adjustment le-
ver back and forth to get the oil back into the square.
5. Disconnect seed hoses from parallel-linkage open-
ers. Permanent elongation and premature cracking
of hoses may occur if stored connected
6. Store the implement inside if possible for longer ma-
chine life.
Maintenance
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long
life of any farm implement. With careful and systematic
inspection, you can avoid costly maintenance, time and
repair.
1. After using your implement for several hours, check
all bolts to be sure they are tight.
2. Lubricate the marker-body hinges every 15 hours of
operation.
3. Adjust idlers to remove excess slack from chains.
Clean and use chain lube on all roller chains as
needed.
4. Oil the seed-cup-drive sprocket in its square bore.
Move seed-cup adjustment lever away from the
sprocket as far as possible to get the oil back into the
square.
5. Always maintain the proper air pressure in the rib
implement tires.
