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 making
any adjustments or performing any maintenance.
Crushing Hazard:
Always have transport locks in place when working on
implement. You may be severely injured or killed by being
crushed under a falling implement.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
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. Escaping fluid under
pressure can have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin. If
an accident occurs, seek immediate medical assistance from a
physician familiar with this type of injury.
1. After using your drill for several hours, check all bolts
to be sure they are tight.
2. Remove excess slack from chains. Clean and use
chain lube on all roller chains as needed.
3. Maintain proper air pressure in drill tires.
4. Keep disk scrapers properly adjusted.
5. Clean drill on a regular basis. Regular and thorough
cleaning will lengthen equipment life and reduce
maintenance and repair.
6. Lubricate areas listed under “Lubrication and
Scheduled Maintenance” on page 58.
7. Replace any worn, damaged, or illegible safety
labels by obtaining new labels from your Great
Plains dealer.
