MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
PROPER SERVICING AND ADJUSTMENT IS THE KEY TO THE LONG LIFE OF ANY FARM IMPLEMENT. WITH
CAREFUL AND SYSTEMATIC INSPECTION, YOU CAN AVOID COSTLY MAINTENANCE, TIME AND REPAIR.
1. After using your drill for several hours, check all bolts
to be sure they are tight.
2. Lubrication -- listed below are the items you need to lu-
bricate every 8 - 10 hours of operation:
a. Each opener lift tube, half clamp.
b. Clutch assembly.
3. Lubrication -- listed below is the item you need to lubri-
cate once a season:
a. End wheel hub bearings.
4. Disk scrapers should be kept properly adjusted.
5. Always maintain the proper air pressure in the rib im-
plement tires.
1. Clean the drill as necessary. BE SURE that the seed
box, fertilizer box and all feed systems are completely
cleaned before storing.
2. Oil and adjust all roller chains.
3. Feed cup drive sprocket hub should be oiled in its
square bore. Squirt oil on to the square feed cup shaft
and move feed cup adjustment lever back and forth in or-
der to get the oil back into the square. This is most impor-
tant before putting the drill in storage.
4. Lubricate all fittings as indicated in “Maintenance and
Lubrication” on page 21.
5. When in storage, lower the drill with openers on a
board or hard surface. Apply a light coat of oil to exposed
cylinder rods.
6. Store the drill inside if possible for longer drill life.
