Section 4: Maintenance & 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.

After using your All Purpose Seeder for several hours, check all bolts to be sure they are tight.

Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety labels by obtaining new labels from your Land Pride Dealer.

1.Be sure that the seed box is completely cleaned before storing. It is best to do this while still hooked to the tractor.

a.Scoop out any large quantities of seed left in the box. Finish by using a small broom or vacuum sweeper.

Refer to Figure 4-2:

b.Move seed rate adjustment lever all the way to the right to fully open fluted sprockets.

!WARNING

Always secure seeder in the up position with solid supports before servicing the underside. Never work under equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can drop equipment if controls are actuated or if hydraulic lines burst. Either situation can drop the seeder instantly even when power to the hydraulics is shut off.

Roller Chains

Refer to Figure 4-1:

Your drive system uses standard no. 40 roller chain and is designed for low maintenance.

1.Check drive idler (#1) and driven idler (#2) to ensure they are taking up excess chain slack.

2.Check drive chain (#3) and driven chain (#4) to ensure they are not over-tightened.

3.Clean and lubricate chains (#3 & #4) with chain lubricant as needed.

2.Clean off all dirt and grease. Make sure rollers are clean of all dirt, trash and debris.

3.Oil the square bore of the seed cup drive sprocket hub to prevent seizing as noted under Lubrication Points on page 23.

4.Also, lubricate all grease fittings and roller chains as noted under Lubrication Points on pages 23 & 24.

5.When in storage, lower the seeder with rollers on a board or hard surface.

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

7.Replace all damaged or missing decals.

Cleaning and Storing

At the end of the working season or when your

All Purpose Seeder will not be used for several days, it is good practice to clean off any dirt or grease that may have accumulated on the seeder and any of the moving parts.

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

9.Inspect seeder for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust or replace if needed with genuine Land Pride parts. Do not alter Land Pride equipment. Altering equipment can hinder performance and/or cause damage to the equipment.
