Required
Seed and Chemical Meter Chains
Lubricate all chains at intervals to maintain freedom at every
chain- link joint. Spray chains if planter is going to be idle to
prevent the chains from rusting and becoming stiff. Stiff
chains will cause metering inaccuracies.
Type of Lubrication: Spray Lube
Finger Pickup Meter
To prolong the life of the finger pickup meter and increase
the planting accuracy, add a teaspoon of graphite to the
seeds every time you fill the hopper. Sprinkle the graphite
on top of the seeds, and it will filter down to lubricate the fin-
ger pickup meter.
Transport Wheel Axles
Using zerk, fill bearing housing until grease comes out of
seal.
Type of Lubrication: Grease
Seasonally
