Total oil capacity is approximately ¾ pint.
Lubrication and Maintenance M0247-01 Model 4900 Mounting Bolts and Hardware Before operating planter for the first time, check all hardware is tight. Check all hardware again after first 50 hours of operation and beginning of each planting season. All hardware used on the Kinze planter is Grade 5 (high strength) unless otherwise noted. Grade 5 cap screws are marked with three radial lines on the head. Hardware must be replaced with equal size, strength, and thread type.
Lubrication and Maintenance Model 4900 M0247-01 Tire Pressure WARNING Explosive separation of rim and tire can cause death or serious injury. Overinflation, rim and tire servicing, improper use of rims and tires, worn, or improperly maintained tires could result in a tire explosion. • Maintain proper tire pressure. Inflating a tire above or below the recommended pressure can cause tire damage. • Mount tires only by properly trained personnel using proper equipment.
M0247-01 Lubrication and Maintenance Model 4900 Vacuum Seed Meter Maintenance Singulator Seed Meter with Back Cover Removed Vacuum Front Cover Before each planting season inspect seed discs and singulator and clean or replace as needed. Use clean, high quality seed for maximum meter accuracy. Damaged or cracked seed, hulls, and foreign material may become lodged in seed disc orifices and greatly reduce meter accuracy.
Lubrication and Maintenance Model 4900 M0247-01 Gauge Wheel Adjustment Machine bushings Shim gauge wheel to lightly contact opener disc blade. Check adjustment in field position. Gauge Wheel Adjustment Gauge wheels should lightly contact opener blades to prevent accumulation of dirt or trash. Gauge wheels and opener blades should turn with only slight resistance. Add or remove machine bushings between shank and gauge wheel arm to adjust clearance between gauge wheels and opener blades.
M0247-01 Lubrication and Maintenance Model 4900 Gauge Wheel Arm Bushing/Seal Replacement Gauge wheel arm bushings/seals Seal Seal Bushing Bushing NOTE: Gauge Wheel Arm Bushing and Seal Driver Kit (G1K296) is available through your Kinze Dealer. 1.
