4. Adjustment / Operation
4.3 Pre-Start Checklist
Perform the following steps before
transporting the Centurion drill to the field.
„ Check all hydraulic lines and fittings
before applying pressure.
Escaping fluid under pressure
can have sufficient pressure to
penetrate the skin. 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
assistance from a physician
familiar with this type of injury.
„ Review “Safety Information” section
starting on page 9.
„ Lubricate as indicated at “Maintenance
and Lubrication” on page 72.
„ Check all tyres for proper inflation. See
“Tyre Inflation Chart” on page 80.
„ Check all bolts, pins, and fasteners.
Torque as shown in “Torque Values
Chart” on page 80.
„ Check drill for worn or damaged parts.
Repair or replace parts before going to
the field.
„ Check hydraulic hoses, fittings, and
cylinders for leaks. Repair or replace
before going to the field.
4.2 Operating
Instructions
This section covers general operating
procedures.
Experience, machine
familiarity, and the following information will
lead to efficient operation and good working
habits. Always operate farm machinery
with safety in mind.
To get full performance from your Centurion,
you need an understanding of all component
operations, and many provide adjustments
for optimal field results.
Even if your planting conditions rarely
change, some of these items need periodic
adjustment due to normal wear.
