Maintenance and Lubrication
Proper servicing and maintenance is the key to long drill
life. With careful and systematic inspection, you can
avoid costly maintenance, downtime and repair.
Always turn off and remove the tractor key before making
any adjustments or performing any maintenance.
Crushing and Overhead Hazards:
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed under a
falling drill. Always have frame sufficiently blocked up when
working on, and particularly under drill.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
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 an acci-
dent occurs, seek immediate medical attention from a physi-
cian familiar with this type of injury.
After using drill for several hours, check all bolts to be
sure they are tight.
1. Securely block drill before working on it.
2. Lubricate areas listed under “Lubrication” on page
75.
3. Clean any fittings that do not take grease.
4. Inflate tires as specified on “Tire Inflation Chart” on
page 89.
5. Inspect hydraulic hoses for cuts, cracks and aging.
Check fittings for evidence of leaks.
6. Keep disk scrapers properly adjusted.
7. Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety
decals. Order new decals from your Great Plains
dealer. See “Safety Reflectors and Decals” on
page 6.
