MAINTENANCE
Hydraulic Maintenance
IMPORTANT
Unfold, lower the unit to the ground, and relieve hydraulic
pressure before attempting to service any hydraulic
component.
WARNING
Escaping fluid under pressure can be nearly
invisible and have enough force to penetrate the
skin causing serious injury. Use a piece of
cardboard, rather than hands to search for
suspected leaks. Wear protective gloves and
safety glasses or goggles when working with
hydraulic system.
1. Check the hydraulic fluid level per tractor owner's
manual and after any leakage. Check hydraulic fluid
level when the wings are folded and machine is raised
for transport.
2. If a cylinder or valve leaks, disassemble the parts to
determine the cause of the leak. Any time a cylinder
is opened up, or whenever any seal replacement is
necessary, it is advisable to clean all parts and
replace all seals. Seal kits are available from your
Brillion dealer.
3. Check all hydraulic hoses weekly. Look for binding or
cracking. Replace all worn or defective parts
immediately.
4. Transport locks are provided to hold the implement in
a raised position. See Figure 3-3. Do not attempt to
perform any service work under the implement
without first installing the transport locks. Before
servicing any hydraulic component, lower the
implement to the ground and relieve all system
pressure. If a hydraulic component is disconnected,
repaired, or replaced, it will be necessary to purge the
system of air before operation. "Hydraulic Lift
System" on page 3-4 and "Hydraulic Fold and
Wing Lock System" on page 3-4 on how to purge
the hydraulic systems.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Hose Identification
1. The hydraulic hoses are color coded to help identify
and match the attaching hoses on the Seeder. An
identification decal is placed on the front of the hitch
to help identify the hoses. See Figure 5-3.
2. For the Seeder, hoses will be identified as follows:
Blue - Lift Wheels
Yellow - Wing Fold
Black - Auxiliary (Wing Locks)

Front and Rear Roller
Adjustment
After an initial run of 5-10 hours, check the Roller Axle
Assemblies to ensure that the wheels are tight to one
another. If not slide the wheels tight together and adjust
the Axle Clamps.
Front Roller push wheels against welded Roller End
Plate. See Figure 5-4.
