Preparing Drill for Storage
|
IMPORTANT: Do not allow diesel fuel (or any other petroleum product) to come in contact with the rubber tubes as it will cause deterioration. 1. Locate a flat level surface to store machine, then follow safe detaching procedures outlined in the Attaching And Detaching section. If setting machine on ground, put a wood board under openers so the openers do not penetrate the ground. |
IMPORTANT: To avoid seed tube damage, remove seed tubes and store in box. 2. Open the feed cups to their largest or wide open setting. For double-run, pull the machine around with drives active, to rotate feed cups and remove more material. 3. Wash the machine with a high-pressure washer; move the shifters back and forth while washing. 4. Paint all bare metal and rust spots. Remove rubber tubes. |
CAUTION:
Be careful when using diesel fuel because it might explode and injure someone. Use only in well-ventilated areas away from any sparks and flames.

5.
Spray ALL moving parts and ALL seam areas with diesel fuel or lubricating oil. Move shifter (A) back and forth while spraying. Spray EACH FEED CUP, inside and outside. Work the individual cup levers back and forth while spraying. Pull the machine around, with feed shafts engaged, then spray more fuel or oil on moving parts. The cost of fuel or oil is insignificant when the alternative is considered.
6. For machines that have used fertilizer and/or treated seed-both HIGHLY CORROSIVE materials-coat the entire box, inside and outside, with diesel fuel. Do not allow fuel to contact rubber seed tubes. 7. Lubricate the machine. See Lubrication and Maintenance section. 8. Remove chains, clean with diesel fuel, then apply oil before storing in box. 9. Coat disks or sweeps on track tillage attachment with oil or grease, then lower onto a board for storage. 10. For row markers, if machine is stored with cylinder rod end extended, apply grease to exposed area of rod. |
