the machine at any time, for any reason.

Handle Hydraulics with Care

Keep clear of machine while hydraulics are in use.

Any failure in the hydraulic system can cause

machine parts to move or fall rapidly with a great deal

of force. Anyone struck, caught between, or crushed

beneath these parts can suffer serious injury or even

death.

A raised planter without cylinder locks installed or

without active hydraulic pressure will slowly lower

over time. Use tractor hydraulics to raise planter only

for brief periods, such as field turns and cylinder lock

installation.

Relieve hydraulic pressure and wait for all parts to

come to a complete stop before disconnecting any

hydraulic lines or performing any work on the

hydraulic system.

Do not have skin exposed when searching for leaks in

hydraulic lines. Use a piece of cardboard or wood to

locate leaks. If injured by escaping hydraulic fluid, seek

immediate medical attention.

Wear protective gloves and eye protection when

working on the machine’s hydraulic system.

Avoid Potential Collision Damage

Watch your surroundings at all times. Do not operate

with nearby bystanders or while anyone makes

adjustments or fills the machine.

bridges, overpasses, and power lines.

Do not operate near ditches, holes, steep slopes,

embankments, or other surfaces which may collapse

under the machine’s weight or tip the machine over.

Chemicals and Waste

Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper

use can seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil

and property.

Read chemical manufacturer’s instructions carefully,

and then take appropriate precautions before use. In

the absence of manufacturer instructions, chemical

labels will inform you of any potential hazards and

their severity.

Wear protective clothing and as well as any other

personal protective equipment.

Wash hands and face before eating after working

with chemicals. Shower as soon as application is

completed for the day.

Apply only with acceptable wind conditions.

Make sure wind drift of chemicals will not affect

any surrounding land, people or animals.

Dispose of unused chemicals and chemical waste as

specified by the manufacturer. Observe all the local

ordinances and regulations in your area.

Dispose of Waste Properly

Dispose of waste properly to avoid threatening the

environment and ecology. Potential harmful waste

includes oil, fuel, filters, and batteries.

Use a leak-proof container for draining fluids. Do not

use a food or beverage container that may be

mistaken for a consumable product.

Do not drain or pour waste onto the ground, down a

drain, or into any water source.

Contact your local environmental or recycling center

for the proper way to recycle or dispose of waste.

Great Plains | 421-009q | 11/29/2023 5

Preparation

High Pressure Fluid Hazard

Escaping fluid under pressure can have

sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin

causing serious injury. Check all hydraulic

lines and fittings before applying pressure.

Use paper or cardboard, not body parts,

and wear heavy gloves to check for

suspected leaks. If injured, seek immediate

medical attention from a physician familiar

with this type of injury.

Negative Tongue Weight Hazard

Raising openers on an unfolded, unhitched

planter will cause planter tongue to rise

suddenly, which can cause serious injury or

death. Make sure planter is hitched

securely to tractor draw bar, and safety

chain is securely attached to tractor before

raising openers and unfolding planter.

Before Starting

Read and understand “Safety Information” on

page 2 before assembling the planter.

Have the planter parts manual on hand for

reference to components.

Use a tractor of sufficient size and horsepower

with at least two remote hydraulic circuits. Refer

to Specifications in the operator manual for

tractor information.

Have at least two people on hand for assembly.

Make sure the assembly area is level and free of

obstructions. An open concrete area is

recommended.

Have all loose components, fasteners, pins and

tools needed for assembly.

Tools Required

Forklift, loader, or overhead hoist with 3000 lb

(1361 kg) capacity.

General hand tools.

Jack stands or blocks and safety chain.

Hoist straps with proper load rating.

Unloading

Remove Smaller Items First

Before unloading larger components, clear

away all small components and parts first.

Once all smaller items are out of the way, start

unloading larger pieces using a forklift or hoist.

Planning Checklist

Unloading large components can be a safe, smooth

operation when properly planned in advance. Review

the following and complete before getting started:

Scope lift equipment for viability and gather the

necessary number of people for equipment operation.

Review the steps with all lift team members.

For multiple lifters, gather lifters and practice simultaneous

lift. Learn control operations for equal lift rates.

Designate a manager to lead and coordinate your

team.

Have agreed upon signals and commands for

simultaneous halting of the lift if any team member

detects a problem.

Location Requirements

Until assembled, planter is immovable. Unload directly

above the location where assembly is to take place.

This location needs to be:

firm, level ground that can support up to 100 psi,

spacious enough to pull the trailer out from under the

lifted machine frame without turning,

and spacious enough around the machine frame to attach

components, such as tongue, wings, and hoppers.

Lifting Machine Components

Machine Damage Hazard

Do not assemble any combination of

components and then attempt to lift

assembled components using a lift or hoist.

Inadvertent flexing of these joints can cause

severe machine damage.

Machine Damage Hazard

Frames come partially assembled with

parts that can be damaged under pressure.

Place pressure only on the weldment frame

and never on any smaller components.

Tire Hub Assemblies

Weight and Crushing Hazards

Tires are extremely heavy and can crush body parts

between the tire and another surface. It may take

more than one or two people to move each tire, even

when aided by a hoist. Use extreme caution when

unloading or moving the tires. Thoroughly secure

tires in safe place after unloading to prevent a

falling or loose tire.

To install tire hub assembly:

1. Locate the tire hub assembly.

2. Loosen all of the nut lugs (1) from the hub studs

(2) from the tire hub (3).

3. Use one or two people to support the wheel,

carefully thread the hub studs (2) on the tire hub

(3) through the mounting holes (A) on the wheel

(4).

4. Secure the tire hub (3) with nut lugs (1) on the

hub studs (2). Tighten to torque as specified.

Repeat steps for each wheel. Carefully set aside

each wheel.

Attach Tongue

Position tongue so hinges are aligned and insert

large pins (1). Secure center pin using roll pins (2)

and smaller, outer pins with nuts and bolts.
