Assembly Instructions
Your new 5530 Grain Drill comes nearly completely
assembled from the factory and ready to go to the field.
This section includes press wheel and option assembly
procedures .
To insure alignment of assemblies, leave the nuts loose
until completion of final assembly. Use lock washers or
flat washers as specified. Spread all cotter pins.
After completion of final assembly, tighten all nuts
evenly to prevent misalignment, distortion or binding.
Tighten all screws and nuts to the recommended torques
(See Table 2-1 on page 2-2.)

WARNING

DANGER

CAUTION
Opener blades are extremely sharp. Exercise
extreme care when working on or near opener
blades. Do not allow opener blades to roll over or
fall onto any body part. Do not allow wrenches to
slip when working near blades. Never push
wrenches toward opener blades. Do not climb
over machine above opener blades. Failure to
stay clear of opener blade edges can cause
serious personal injury or death.
Do not attempt to lift heavy parts (such as the
frame, wheel lift, and pull hitch) manually. Use a
hoist or a forklift to move these parts into
position.
To prevent accidental lowering:
• All hydraulically elevated equipment must be
locked out using the cylinder lockouts.
• Lower equipment to the ground while
servicing or when it is idle.
• Failure to take measures to prevent
accidental lowering may result in serious
personal injury or death.
Be sure to bleed the hydraulic system of all air in
lines after installation. Failure to bleed the system
