BEFORE SEASONAL OPERATION OR BEFORE STORAGE
1. Perform or check items listed under daily and weekly
maintenance.
2. Inspect the implement. Be sure all components are
ready for the field. Check the frame for any signs of
structural cracks.
3. When placing the implement in storage for more than
one month, coat all exposed hydraulic ram surfaces
with a thick oil to protect them from the elements.
4. Check the implement, including openers, for loose
bolts and tighten.
To avoid personal injury or death, use utmost
caution when adjusting the opener assemblies
since the trip spring is in compression. Do not
attempt to remove the spring from the tension link
assembly. This unit was factory assembled and is
under extreme load; in no circumstance should
this assembly be field disassembled.
