Before operating your drill for the first time, make
sure you have checked the following items:
1. Read and follow the “Safety at All Times,”
page 6, carefully.
2. Read all the “Operating Procedures," page
24.
3. Check tire pressure. Proper inflation is listed
in the "Tire Inflation Chart," page 36.
4. Inspect the seed cups and seed tubes for for-
eign matter.
5. Rotate each gauge wheel to see that the drive
system is operating smoothly.

"Seeding Adjustments," in the seed rate
book.

ment in order for disk blades to rotate freely.

WARNING
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pres-
sure to penetrate the skin. Check all hydraulic lines
and fittings before applying pressure. Fluid escaping
from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use pa-
per or cardboard, not body parts, and wear heavy
gloves to check for suspected leaks. If injured, seek
medical assistance from a doctor that is familiar with
this type of injury. Foreign fluids in the tissue must be
surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene
will result.
