6. Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safe-
ty decals. Order new decals from your Great
Plains dealer. See “Safety Decals”, page 7.
7. To increase seal and bearing life, the taper
roller bearings in all 4 transport wheels
should be checked for play at least once a
season. Lower the unit so the shanks contact
the ground. Retract the transport cylinders
until the transport wheels are off the ground.
Rock each wheel side to side to check for
play. Remove the dust cap and remove play
with the slotted nut as needed.
8. To increase seal and bearing life, the taper
roller bearings in the walking tandems should
be checked in a similar manner. Each walking
tandem has a slotted nut which can be used
to remove play. There is no dust cap to re-
move. The nut is visible from the outside.
Storage
Store implement where children do not play. If
possible, store the drill inside for longer life.
1. Remove any dirt and debris that can hold
moisture and cause corrosion.
2. Lubricate areas noted under “Lubrication”,
page 33.
3. Inspect implement for worn or damaged
parts. Make repairs and service during the off
season.
4. Use spray paint to cover scratches, chips and
worn areas on the implement to protect the
metal.
5. Retract the hydraulic cylinders so the plated
rod is inside the barrel to minimize rust.
