Lubrication Maintenance
1. Table 4-1 specifies the lubrication points and
intervals on the 4630-36 Folding Seeder. Proper
maintenance of your machine will, under normal
operating conditions, help to keep it operating at or
near its peak performance for an extended period of
time. Proper maintenance is also a condition of
keeping your warranty in good status (See
Figure 4-12.)
2. The seeder should be lubricated after initial setup
and prior to field operations. When lubricating the
Seeder Hitch, SAE multi-purpose EP grease, or EP
grease with 3-5% molybdenum sulfide is
recommended. Wipe soil from fittings before
greasing. Replace any lost or broken fittings
immediately.
3. The Seeder Hitch is equipped with maintenance-free
bearings in the lifts. These areas require no
lubrication.
Storage
Preparing the Seeder Hitch for storage during extended
periods of time will not only help protect the seeder, but
insure that it will be maintained, serviced, and ready for
the next planting season.
1. Clean out any remaining seed and fertilizer from the
boxes and meters before storage. Thoroughly
remove and wash out any dry fertilizer.
2. Wash or blow off any remaining dirt, mud or residue
from the seeder.
3. Inspect the seeder for worn or broken parts. Make
repairs and service during the off season to prevent
delays.
4. Lubricate the seeder at all points (See “Lubrication
Maintenance” on page 4-17.)
5. Clean and repack the wheel bearings.
6. Inspect all nuts and bolts for tightness.
7. Touch up any scratches or chips with spray paint to
protect the metal.
8. Check and inflate tires to the proper air pressure.
9. Store the seeder inside in the folded position if
possible. If stored outside, cover with a tarp.
