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 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 immediate medical attention from a
physician familiar with this type of injury.
After using implement for several hours, check all bolts
to be sure they are tight.
1. Securely block implement before working on it.
2. Lubricate areas listed under “Lubrication” on
page 57.
3. Clean any fittings that do not take grease.
4. Inflate tires as specified on “Tire Inflation Chart”
on page 62.
5. Inspect hydraulic hoses for cuts, cracks and aging.
Check fittings for evidence of leaks.
6. Inspect cart link pins for wear or loosening.
7. Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety
decals. Order new decals from your Great Plains
dealer. “Safety Decals” on page 5.
