Maintenance
Proper servicing and maintenance is the key to long im-
plement life. With careful and systematic inspection,
you can avoid costly maintenance, downtime and
repair.
Always turn off and remove the tractor key before mak-
ing any adjustments or performing any maintenance.
!
WARNING
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 imple-
ment.

WARNING
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to
penetrate the skin. Check all hydraulic lines and fittings be-
fore 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 medical assistance from a doctor that is famil-
iar with this type of injury. Foreign fluids in the tissue must
be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene will re-
sult.
1. After using drill for several hours, check all bolts to
be sure they are tight.
2. Lubricate areas listed under “Lubrication”, page 65.
3. Adjust idlers to remove excess slack from chains.
Clean and use chain lube on all roller chains as
needed.
4. Inflate tires as specified on “Tire Inflation Chart”,
page 142.
5. Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety de-
cals. Order new decals from your Great Plains deal-
er. Refer to “Safety Decals”, page 7.
