The recommended maintenance schedule includes daily inspections of moving parts, lubrication every 40 hours of use, and a comprehensive check of all components at the end of the planting season.
Check for worn seed plates, ensure proper alignment of the seed tubes, and verify that the drive system is functioning correctly. Adjust the planting depth and speed settings as needed.
John Deere Multi-Purpose SD Polyurea Grease is recommended for use with the PA800 Series Planting Attachments to ensure optimal performance and protection against wear.
Regularly calibrate the planter, check for any obstructions in the seed tubes, and ensure that the gauge wheels and depth adjustment components are free from debris and properly adjusted.
Inspect the hydraulic connections for leaks or blockages, ensure that the attachment is securely mounted, and check the alignment of the drive system. Refer to the operator’s manual for specific troubleshooting procedures.
Adjust the planter’s row unit settings according to the desired spacing specifications. Consult the manual for instructions on loosening and securing row unit adjustments.
Remove any soil and plant debris using a soft brush, use compressed air to clear out seed tubes, and wash with water if necessary. Ensure all parts are dry before storage.
Consider using wider press wheels to prevent soil compaction, adjust the planting depth and speed, and ensure seed tubes are not clogged to maintain optimal seed placement.
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, follow all safety instructions in the manual, and ensure all bystanders are at a safe distance during operation.
Thoroughly clean and lubricate all components, store in a dry and covered location, and cover the attachments with a tarp to protect them from dust and moisture.
