Pre-Start Checklist
Perform the following steps before transporting the 7000
Series II Disk Harrow to the field.
❑ Carefully read “Important Safety Information” on
page 1.
❑ Lubricate Disk Harrow as indicated under
“Lubrication” on page 30.
❑ Check all tires for proper inflation. See “Tire
Inflation & Warranty” on page 33.
❑ Check all bolts, pins, and fasteners. Torque as
shown in “Tire Inflation & Warranty” on page 33.
❑ Check Disk Harrow for worn or damaged parts.
Repair or replace parts before going to the field.
❑ Check hydraulic hoses, fittings, and cylinders for
leaks. Repair or replace before going to the field.
❑ Perform all beginning-of-season and daily service
items under “Maintenance” on page 29.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use a
piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for
leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems. Escaping fluid under
pressure can have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin
causing serious injury. If an accident occurs, seek immediate
medical assistance from a physician familiar with this type of
injury.
