Before using machine after it has been stored, inspect seed hoppers for cleanliness to be certain seed will flow from hoppers freely.

Clean any dirt or grease that may have accumulated on moving parts, gears and chains before operating machine. This will prevent abrasive action that could cause excessive wear.

When roller chains remain unused for several days, moisture in the air will accumulate on chain, causing chain to rust. This can and will become serious enough in time to cause the chain joints to become stiff, restricting their normal free movement. While very difficult to detect, this stiffness can cause the chains to operate abnormally and disturb the smooth rotation of important meter components causing deterioration in performance.

IMPORTANT: Do not use chain lube or any other heavy petroleum base lubricant that may cause a buildup of dust or dirt in the sprocket or gear teeth.

If machine is not used for several days or if oil has been removed from chains while cleaning the machine, thoroughly lubricate chains with John Deere Multipurpose Spray Lube TY6350.

Adjust machine for planting conditions to be encountered.
