your dealer has trained service technicians available.
For your protection, read and follow the safety informa-
tion in this manual.
 NEVER GO UNDERNEATH EQUIPMENT. Never
place any part of the body underneath equipment

neath implement.

tions or have service performed by a qualified
dealer.

hitch and all raised components to the ground,
operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pres-
sure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key,
and unfasten seat belt.
CAUTION
 Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing

1. Lubricate all bearing housings every 8 hours.
Bearing housings are located on each end of
rollers as indicated by grease fitting. See Figure
29. If equipped with tow kit, repack wheel bearings
with grease every 8 hours.
2. Lubricate chains and sprockets (with grease zerks)
every 50 hours or every season, whichever is
shorter. The seed boxes are sealed with 3M 760
sealant. If a leak occurs in the seed box, apply a
3/16" bead of 3M 760 sealant to eliminate any
leaks. The tack free time is 30 minutes with full
cure in 24 hours.
3. Clean fittings prior to lubrication. Do not let
excessive grease build up around lubrication
points.
NOTICE: One pump of a good grade multi-purpose
grease should be sufficient in most cases. Harsh or dry
conditions may require more frequent lubrication. If tow
kit is installed, lubrication service is best performed
with seeder fully raised and transport locks in place.
