according to the tractor operator's manual.
2. Lock the tractor drawbar in the center position.

Grain Drill Preparation

1. Prior to operating the 5530 Grain Drill, read and
understand the operator's manual and all decals.
2. Inspect the machine thoroughly for good operating
condition.
3. Replace worn or missing parts.
4. When the machine is new, check the bolt tightness
after a few hours of operation. Tighten any loose nuts
or bolts. Check the lift wheel lug bolts daily.
5. Check the lift wheel tire inflation. Inflate all tires
equally to avoid side draft. Follow the tire
manufacturer's recommended pressures listed on
the sidewall of the tires.
6. Check opener scrapers for proper adjustment to the
disc blades (See "Opener Scraper Adjustment" on
page 4-31.)
7. Lubricate the machine (See "Lubrication
Maintenance" on page 4-44 and Figure 4-41 on
page 4-43).
8. Check that all safety decals and reflectors are
correctly located and legible. Replace if damaged.
