points and intervals on the 5530 Grain Drill.
Proper maintenance of your machine will, un-
der normal operating conditions, help to keep
it operating at or near its peak performance
for an extended period of time. Proper main-
tenance is also a condition of keeping your
warranty in good status (See Figure 4-37).

4-34 STORAGE

Preparing the grain drill for storage during ex-
tended periods of time will not only help protect the
drill, but insure that it will be maintained, serviced,
and ready for the next planting season.

izer from the boxes and meters before stor-
age. Thoroughly remove and wash out any
dry fertilizer.

mud or residue from the drill.
