Section 4: Maintenance and Lubrication
Maintenance
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life of any implement. With careful and systematic inspection, you can avoid costly maintenance, time and repair.
7.After using your seeder for several hours, check all bolts to be sure they are tight.
8.Lubricate areas noted in the “Lubrication” section.
9.Adjust idlers to remove excess slack from chains. Clean and use chain lube on all roller chains as needed.
10.Feed cup drive sprocket should be oiled in its square bore. Move feed cup adjustment lever away from sprocket as far as possible in order to get oil back into square.
11.Always maintain proper air pressure in tires.
12.Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety labels by obtaining new labels from your Land Pride Dealer.
13.Inspect safety chain and hardware for wear or other damage.
Storage
1.At the end of the working season or when your Primary Seeder will not be used for a long period, it is good practice to clean off any dirt or grease that may have accumulated on the seeder and any of the moving parts.
2.Be sure that the seed box is completely cleaned before storing.
3.The square bore of the feed cup drive sprocket hub should be oiled to prevent seizing. Squirt oil on to the square feed cup shaft and move feed cup adjustment lever back and forth in order to get the oil back into the square.
4.Lubricate all fittings as indicated in the following illustrations.
5.When in storage, lower the seeder with rollers on a board or hard surface and adjust the parking stand or tongue jack.
6.For seeders with front or end wheels, apply a light coat of oil to exposed cylinder rods.
7.Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to prevent rust.
8.Store the seeder inside if possible. Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for a longer seeder life.
