LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
As is the case with any piece of new equipment, periodically check for loose
bolts and nuts. Paint and parts settling after the initial vibrations are common
and can cause bolts or nuts to loosen. Check the following parts frequently:
• Lug Bolts
• Tines & Tine Arms
• Guards
• Hydraulic Fittings
