Transporting
!
CAUTION
When traveling on public roads whether at night or during the
day, use accessory light and devices for adequate warning to
operators of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state and
local laws.
1. Select a safe ground travel speed when transporting
from one area to another. When traveling on
roadways, transport in such a way that faster moving
vehicles may pass you safely.
2. Reduce tractor ground speed when turning. Leave
enough clearance so the seeder does not contact
obstacles such as buildings, trees or fences.
3. When traveling over rough or hilly terrain, shift tractor
to a lower gear.

Drive System
Your Primary Seeder uses standard no. 40 roller chain
throughout its drive system. The drive system is simple
and designed for low maintenance.
1. Check the drive idler arms to insure that they are
taking up any excess chain slack.
2. Check each chain to insure that it is not over-
tightened.
3. Annually clean and lubricate chain with chain oil.
Roller Packing Wheels
The front and rear roller packing wheels should turn freely.
In field position, the rear roller assembly should be free to
float up and down to follow the terrain of your field. See
Figure 2-1.
