Section 4: Maintenance & Lubrication

Maintenance

Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life of any farm implement. With careful and systematic inspection, you can avoid costly maintenance, time and repair.

1.After using your seeder for several hours, check all bolts to be sure they are tight.

2.After transporting your seeder for several hours, check all bolts and nuts to be sure they are tight.

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 seed cup drive sprocket hub should be oiled to prevent seizing. Squirt oil on to the square feed cup shaft and move seed cup adjustment lever back and forth in order to get the oil back into the square.

4.Lubricate all fittings as indicated.

5.When in storage, lower the seeder with rollers on a board or hard surface and adjust the parking stand or tongue jack.

6.Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to prevent rust.

7.Replace all damaged or missing decals.

8.Store the seeder inside if possible. Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for a longer seeder life.

9.Inspect the Primary Seeder for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust or replace if needed.
