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 and Overhead Hazards:
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed under
the falling implement. Always have transport locks in place
and frame sufficiently blocked up when working on 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 an
accident occurs, seek immediate medical assistance from a
physician familiar with this type of injury.
1. After using your planter 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 planter tires.
4. Keep disk scrapers properly adjusted.
5. Clean planter on a regular basis. Regular and
thorough cleaning will lengthen equipment life and
reduce maintenance and repair.
6. Lubricate areas listed under “Lubrication” on
page 114.
7. Replace any worn, damaged, or illegible safety
labels by obtaining new labels from your Great
Plains dealer.
