Section 5 Maintenance and Lubrication

Maintenance

Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life

of any farm equipment. With careful, regular inspection

and lubrication, you can avoid many costly repairs and

downtime.

Always turn off tractor and remove the key before making

any adjustments or performing maintenance.

WARNING!

You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed from a

falling implement. Always have transport locks in place and

frame sufﬁciently blocked up when working on implement.

WARNING!

Escaping ﬂuid under pressure can have sufﬁcient pressure to

penetrate the skin. Check all hydraulic lines and ﬁttings before

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 familiar with this type

of injury. Foreign ﬂuids in the tissue must be surgically removed

within a few hours or gangrene will result.

WARNING!

Read and obey all safety labels on the implement.

1. After initially running the drill for several hours, check

all bolts to be sure they are tight. Do not over tighten

the bolts holding the distribution tower assembly to-

gether. Refer to Torque Values Chart,“Appendix,”

page 31.

2. Clean or replace any ﬁttings which will not take

grease.

3. Lubricate as noted under Lubrication, this page.

4. Always use equivalent fasteners to replace any dam-

aged or missing bolts. Use only grade 5 bolts on

shear-bolt openers to replace sheared bolts. (Grade 5

bolts have three marks on the head.)

5. Always maintain correct tire pressure. Refer to Tire In-

ﬂation Chart,“Appendix,” page 31.

6. Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety labels

at once. New labels can be obtained from your Great

Plains dealer. Refer to Safety Labels,“Important

Safety Information,” page 4.

7. Periodically check and secure all bolts, pins, and fas-

teners. Tighten as speciﬁed on the Torque Values

Chart,“Appendix,” page 31.

8. Occasionally inspect hydraulic hoses for cuts, cracks

and aging. Check ﬁttings and cylinders for evidence of

leaks.

9. Inspect cart-link pins often for wear or loosening.

Storage

Store the drill in an area where children do not play. If pos-

sible, store the drill inside for longer drill life.

1. If you store the drill in the unfolded position, unpin and

fully retract rod ends of fold cylinders to prevent rust.

2. If the cart is disconnected from the drill for storage,

plug all 2 1/2-inch openings to prevent birds from nest-

ing in them.

3. Lubricate the drill at all points listed under Lubrication,

this page.

4. Check all bolts, pins, ﬁttings and hoses. Tighten, re-

pair or replace parts as needed.

5. Check all moving and earth-contact parts for wear or

damage. Make notes of any parts needing repair be-

fore the next season.

6. Use touch up paint to cover scratches, chips and worn

areas to prevent rust.
