10.1 Service
10.1.1 Fluids and Lubricants
1. Grease - Use an SAE
multipurpose high temperature
grease with extreme pressure
(EP) performance. Also
acceptable is an SAE
multipurpose lithium base
grease.
2. Storing Lubricants - Your machine can
operate at top eciency only if clean
lubricants are used. Use clean containers to
handle all lubricants. Store them in an area
protected from dust, dirt, moisture and other
contaminants.
10.1.2 Greasing
Refer to Section 10.1.3 - Servicing
Intervals for greasing locations.
1. Use only a hand-held grease
gun for all greasing.
2. Wipe grease tting with a clean
cloth before greasing, to avoid injecting dirt
and grit.
3. Replace and repair broken ttings immediately.
4. If a tting will not take grease, remove
and clean thoroughly. Also clean lubricant
passageway. Replace tting if necessary.
Important
It is the responsibility of
the owner or operator
to read this manual
and to train all other
operators before they
start working with the
machine. Refer to the Safety section in this
manual. By following recommended procedures,
a safe working environment is provided for the
operator, bystanders and the area around the
work site.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury or
death, lower machine to the
ground, place all controls
in neutral, stop engine, turn
monitor off, set park brake,
remove ignition key, wait for
all moving parts to stop before
servicing.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury
or death, place stands or
blocks under the frame before
working beneath the machine
or when changing tires.

10.1.3 Servicing Intervals
10.1.3.1 10 Hours or Daily
1. Grease the metering auger bearings (2 bearing
per each auger).
a. There is a grease line installed for easy
access. Refer to Figure 10.1.

TANK 5TANKS 1, 2, 3, 4
Note
Grease will form a protective barrier to prevent
dirt, fertilizer, and moisture from entering the
bearing. Failure to adequately grease the bearing
will result in premature failure of the bearing.
Refer to Section 10.3.8 - Metering Auger Care.
This section of Maintenance should also be
completed SEASONALLY.

2. Check the clogging indicator on the metering
circuit hydraulic lter daily.
a. To check the indicator, the circuit must be
pressurized.
i. Ensure the tractor remote that
supplies Fan 1 is engaged and check
the lter with the system either in
normal Fan mode or Fill/Cal mode.
ii. Refer to Section 4.6.2 - Hydraulic
Selector Valves and Remote on how
to select these modes.
iii. Green means the lter is functional
and red means the lter is clogged
and needs replacement.

away to prevent potential damage to hydraulic
components in the system.
3. Leading Tanks Only:
a. Grease the front hitch tongue (2 locations -
1 per side of tongue) with grease. Refer to
Figure 10.3.

6. Grease the torque limiting device (1 location
on each torque limiting device).
7. Surge Brakes:
a. Remove air from the surge brake air trap
above the front axle.
b. For detailed instructions refer to Section
10.3.2.1 - Bleeding Brakes - Surge Brakes.

10.1.3.3 Annually
1. Tighten all fasteners to their specied torque.
2. Wash machine.
Note
Take care not to apply high pressure water
directly to any on-frame electrical switches or
boxes, scales, etc that are attached to the frame,
skirt or tanks of the unit.
3. Apply a coat of oil to all metering drive roller
chains and sprockets.
4. Brake Pads:
a. Check brake pads for wear on all four
calipers. If the thickness of the brake pad
is 1/8” or less it is recommended to change
the brake pad.

5. Brake Reservoir:
a. Check level of ATF in the reservoir at the
beginning of each season.
b. Ensure the uid level never drops below
"Min." or is above "Max".
i. Add Dexron ATF if necessary.
6. Surge Brakes:
a. Compress the hitch on the air seeder to
pressurize the brake system and slightly
open the needle valve, above the front axle
(on trailing) or at the front of the frame
truss (on leading), to release any air that
may have collected in the air trap.
