Critical Joint Inspection - Hillco JH7020 Operator's Manual

Critical Joint Inspection

The Hillco Leveling System depends on several critical joints integrating the Leveling System to the
John Deere combine. These joints require specific torques for safe operation. Operational conditions
can over time loosen these joints. Hillco strongly recommends checking these joints annually.
Failure to check these joints annually may result in critical damage to the combine and leveling system.
Please reference the following pages calling out the fasteners holding these critical joints.
