Machine Use
Operate Responsibly
Maintain attention on operation at all times to avoid
injury to yourself or others.
Do not operate machine while distracted by a smart
phone, tablet, or similar electronic device, or while
impaired by alcohol, medication, any controlled
substance, or while fatigued.
Do not ever allow passengers to ride on any part of
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.
Avoid contacting overhead obstructions such as low
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.

Machine Maintenance
Follow Tire Recommendations
Consult the tire manufacturer’s recommendations for
maintenance and replacement of your machine’s
tires. Only use prescribed tire sizes with correct
ratings and tire pressure.
Replacing tires is potentially hazardous. Have a
trained professional change the machine’s tires with
the proper tools and equipment.
Avoid over inflation of tires and over torquing wheel
bolts. Review the machine specifications and tire
information in this manual first before doing any work
on the tires of your machine.
Prepare for Performing Maintenance
Understand procedure before performing any
work. Always use proper tools and equipment.
Only work on or around the machine if frame is
lowered, or raised with the cylinder locks in place.
Lower the implement. Put tractor in Park, turn off
engine. To prevent unauthorized starting, remove key
before performing maintenance or service work.
If work must be performed with wings raised, set
the wing tilt locks to the road position.
Disconnect electronic monitor and lighting
harness from the tractor before servicing or
adjusting electrical systems.
Check and replace worn brake lines as needed.
Remove all tools and unused parts from
implement before operation.
PTO
Wait until all moving components have completely
stopped before adjusting, cleaning, or servicing any
PTO driven equipment.
When operating stationary PTO driven equipment,
always apply the parking brake and place chocks
behind wheels.
Stay clear of and never step over any rotating parts.
Machine Transport
This machine does not meet all local, regional, or
national regulations for transport on a public road.
Know and comply with your local laws and regulations
before transporting your machine.
Transport only at recommended transport speed.
Further reduce speed when turning.
Before towing implement on roads, empty out all
material from hoppers or boxes. Implement should
never weigh more than 1.5 times the weight of towing
vehicle.
Know transport height and width of implement to
avoid collision.
Do not engage any hydraulic functions while machine
is in transport.
Use Safety Lights and Devices
Inspect safety chain and chain load rating before use
with machine. Never use the safety chain for towing.

PL5905 Table of Contents Preparation
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.
Use lifts or hoists to remove weldments from the
container. Equipment should be graded to hold a
collective weight greater than that of the weldment
component. When unloading, monitor load indicators
and overload indications or alarms.

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.
