Maintenance and Lubrication
Proper servicing and maintenance is the key to long
implement 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 Hazard:
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed under a
falling drill. Always use transport locks or 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
accident occurs, seek immediate medical attention from a
physician familiar with this type of injury.
Sharp Object Hazard:
Disk edges and harrow tine teeth are very sharp. You may
injure yourself. Use caution when working in this area.

6.
Periodically check and secure all bolts, pins, and
fasteners. Tighten as specified on the “Torque

Occasionally inspect hydraulic hoses for cuts, cracks
and aging. Check fittings and cylinders for evidence
of leaks.
