OWNER SERVICE
The information in this section is written for operators
who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need help,
your dealer has trained service technicians available.
For your protection, read and follow the safety informa-
tion in this manual.
NEVER GO UNDERNEATH EQUIPMENT. Never
place any part of the body underneath equipment
or between moveable parts even when the engine
has been turned off. Hydraulic system leak-down,
hydraulic system failures, mechanical failures, or
movement of control levers can cause equipment
to drop or rotate unexpectedly and cause severe
injury or death.
• Service work does not require going under-
neath implement.
• Read Operator's Manual for service instruc-
tions or have service performed by a qualified
dealer.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
Before dismounting power unit or performing
any service or maintenance, follow these steps:
disengage power to equipment, lower the 3-point
hitch and all raised components to the ground,
operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pres-
sure, set parking brake, stop engine, remove key,
and unfasten seat belt.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
TIGHTENING CULTIPACKER WHEEL
ASSEMBLY
1. Place cultipacker on level, dry surface, with the
cultipacker wheels on the ground.
2. Loosen 1/2” flange nuts and bolts on cast iron end
clamps.
3. Use a pry bar to tighten the wheels together.
4. Re-tighten the 1/2” flange nuts and bolts on the
clamps.
REMOVING CULTIPACKER SHAFT FROM
FRAME
1. Place cultipacker on level, dry surface, with the
cultipacker wheels on the ground.
2. Release spring load by loosening jam nuts.
Loosen jam nuts on cultipacker spring rods until
springs are unloaded before removing spring
stops.
3. Loosen bearing set screws with 1/4” Allen wrench.
4. Remove 1/2” flange lock nuts and bolts from
bearing assembly. Repair or replace cultipacker
assembly as needed or refer to tightening
cultipacker wheel assembly if applicable.
5. Match holes in cultipacker frame with holes in
bearings and assemble with 1/2” bolts and flange
lock nuts.
6. Secure collar to shaft with set screws.
LUBRICATION INFORMATION
1. Lubricate all bearing housings every 8 hours.
Bearing housings are located on each end of
rollers as indicated by grease fitting. See Figure
29. If equipped with tow kit, repack wheel bearings
with grease every 8 hours.
2. Lubricate chains and sprockets (with grease zerks)
every 50 hours or every season, whichever is
shorter. The seed boxes are sealed with 3M 760
sealant. If a leak occurs in the seed box, apply a
3/16” bead of 3M 760 sealant to eliminate any
leaks. The tack free time is 30 minutes with full
cure in 24 hours.
3. Clean fittings prior to lubrication. Do not let
excessive grease build up around lubrication
points.
NOTICE: One pump of a good grade multi-purpose
grease should be sufficient in most cases. Harsh or dry
conditions may require more frequent lubrication. If tow
kit is installed, lubrication service is best performed
with seeder fully raised and transport locks in place.
