Maintenance
Proper servicing and maintenance is the key to long imple-
ment 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.
!
WARNING!
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed by the
falling implement. Always have transport locks in place and
frame sufficiently blocked up when working on implement.
!
WARNING!
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. Foreign fluids in the tissue must be surgically removed
within a few hours or gangrene will result.
1. After using drill for several hours, check all bolts to be
sure they are tight.
2. Adjust idlers to remove excess slack from chains.
Clean and use chain lube on all roller chains as
needed.
3. Always maintain proper air pressure in drill tires. Refer
to Tire Inflation Chart, “Appendix,” page 35.
4. Keep disk scrapers properly adjusted. Refer to Disk
Scraper Adjustment, “Adjustments,” page 25.
5. Clean drill on a regular basis. Regular and thorough
cleaning will reduce needed repair and lengthen drill
life.
6. Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety decals
by obtaining new decals from your Great Plains
dealer.
Fertilizer Unit
On fertilizer drills, clean fertilizer compartment thoroughly
every two or three days during operating season and
before storing drill for an extended period of time.
To clean fertilizer compartment, drop fertilizer-tray doors
by releasing latches on back of tray. Using high-pressure
water, thoroughly clean fertilizer tray, gate openings and
rotor. Rotate end sprocket to clean entire fertilizer-meter-
ing star.
Storage
Store drill where children do not play. If possible, store drill
inside for longer life.
1. Clean drill as necessary. Be sure seed boxes are
cleaned completely before storing.
2. Lubricate and adjust all roller chains.
3. Lubricate all pivots as indicated under Lubrication,
this page. Take special care to oil seed-cup-drive
sprocket in its bore.
4. When in storage, lower drill with openers on a board or
hard surface. Apply a light coat of oil to exposed cylin-
der rods.
