Maintenance and Lubrication
Maintenance
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 mak-
ing any adjustments or performing any maintenance.
Crushing Hazard:
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed under
a falling implement. Always have frame sufficiently blocked
up when working on, and particularly under implement.
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 injured, seek medical assistance from a doctor that is
familiar with this type of injury.
After using drill for several hours, check all bolts to be
sure they are tight.
1. Lubricate areas listed under “Lubrication” on page

2. Adjust idlers to remove excess slack from chains.
Clean and use chain lube on all roller chains as
needed.
3. Inflate tires as specified on “Tire Inflation Chart” on
page 77.
4. Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety
decals. Order new decals from your Great Plains
dealer. “Safety Decals” on page 6.
