Preventative (Preseason)

Preventative (Preseason) checklist

Check Gearbox & Center Drive Oil Levels - check oil levels & topp off with the appropriate gear oil. Maintaining proper levels will prevent excessive gear wear & prolong bearing life of gearboxes.
Grease the Pivot Point - this should be done once per season or after every 1,000 hours of operation, which ever comes first. This helps your system move more freely during operation.
Check Bolts - Tighten any loose bolts that have any movement. Loose bolts can cause unnecessary stress on the system during the season or even cause entire system to fall over.
Inspect Drivelines - Worn joints & driveline bolts are easy to repair if caught early but can cause issues in the middle of the season.
Check the Tire Pressure - Check for the CORRECT tire pressure. This helps maintain adequate flotation & prevent excessive gearbox wear. Ensure the wheels and any lug nuts are tightened.
Check End Guns - If equipped, make sure all plumbing is intact & appears to be in good working condition. Make sure to check for rodent damage and/or tubing degradation.
Check Spinkler Nozzles - Look for missing or damaged sprinklers and repair or replace them as needed.
Update your Tech - Make sure your technology is running on the latest software.

Gas Plumbing Train - Inspect & adjust regulators; Inspect solenoids; Inspect pressure gauges; Inspect plumbing lines to burner; Check strainers of drains on gas lines; Inspect & adjust external & internal vaporizers.
