STORAGE
PREPARING THE DRILL FOR STORAGE
1. Store the machine in a dry place. Unfold the drill and
lower the disk openers to the ground. If the building
has a dirt floor, support the single disk openers on
boards to prevent the disks from entering the dirt.
2. Scrape or brush off any dirt on the machine and
remove all weeds and debris that may have wrapped
around the bearings and wheels. Before storing, apply
Til-coat (Part Number 1131548R2, available from your
dealer) to the surfaces of ground working tools. Apply
Case 251H-EP grease to hydraulic cylinder rods to
prevent rust.
3. Paint any surfaces that can rust.
4. Lubricate all grease fittings and each wheel hub.
5. Inspect the machine for worn or broken parts and
replace the parts as needed.
6. Check the air pressure in each tire and add air as
required. See Specifications in this manual for correct
tire pressure.
7. Do not let the tires sit in oil or grease or to come in
contact with manure or fertilizer, as these items will
destroy rubber tires. Fasten all hydraulic hoses to the
front hose support to keep the hose ends above the
ground.
REMOVING THE DRILL FROM STORAGE
1. Assemble any parts taken off for storage or
reconditioning and check for loose bolts and cotter
pins. Parts out of adjustment results in rapid wear,
possible breaking and poor operation. Check torque
on all opener bolts.
2. Lubricate the complete machine.
3. Check the air pressure in each tire and add air as
required.
