Check Hydraulics
Check Oil Level
Refer to Figure 7
1.
Verify that the planter is level front to back and side
to side.
2. Inspect the sight gauge on the pump system
reservoir. The oil level must be aligned with the
center border of the OIL FILL LINE decal
(858-029C).
Hot Surface and Hot Fluid Hazards:
Assess the reservoir temperature before adjusting oil level.
Draining excess hot oil could result in a severe burn. If the
PTO has been operated recently, the oil temperature could be
as high as 180
°F (82°C).
3. Add or drain oil as needed to obtain the correct
amount. Some adjustment is normally required with
a new system, or after a filter change.
Note: The fill level dimension from reservoir bottom is:
10.73 inches (27.3 cm)
If the 858-029C decal requires replacement, adjust
the top edge of the center border line to this height.
Inspect Hoses and Fittings
4. Check that all hydraulic fittings are tight and dry.
Inspect all hoses for damage, wear and fatigue.
Because the PTO pump system is closed, any
visible fluid may be an indication of a leak.
