completely cleaned out before storing.
2. Lube chain and adjust all roller chains.
3. Lubricate all fittings as indicated in “Maintenance
and Lubrication” on page 55.
4. When storing in transport position, use all locking
devices as described under “Transporting the Drill”
on page 27 and “Operating Instructions” on
page 23.
5. Apply a light coat of grease to all exposed hydraulic
cylinder rods.
6. Seed cup drive sprocket hub should be oiled in its
square bore. Squirt oil on to the square seed cup
shaft and move seed cup adjustment lever back and
forth in order to get the oil back into the square. This
is most important before putting the drill in storage.
7. Always maintain proper pounds of air pressure in
gauge wheel tires and in transport tires see “Tire
Inflation Chart” on page 68.

reduce maintenance and make for a longer drill life.
