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 fully unfold or use stands 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 pres-
sure 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 flex harrow for several hours, check
all bolts to be sure they are tight.
2. Maintain proper air pressure in tires.
3. Clean flex harrow on a regular basis. Regular and
thorough cleaning will lengthen equipment life and
reduce maintenance and repair.
4. Lubricate areas listed under “Lubrication and
Scheduled Maintenance” on page 29.
5. Replace any worn, damaged, or illegible safety
labels by obtaining new labels from your Great
Plains dealer.
