Important Safety Information
NTA3010 and NTA3510 Air Drill Implement SN Z1370- 160-219M 8/14/
Great Plains Mfg., Inc.
Transport
Machinery Safely
▲ Comply with state and local laws.
▲ Maximum transport speed for
implement is 20 mph. DO NOT
EXCEED. Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate
control of steering and stopping.
Some rough terrains require a
slower speed.
▲ Transport implement only when
hitched to a Great Plains air drill
cart.
▲ Keep clear of overhead power
lines when folding, unfolding or
transporting.
▲ Transport with transport locks in
place.
▲ Sudden braking can cause a
towed load to swerve and upset.
Reduce speed if towed load is not
equipped with breaks.
▲ Do not tow a load that weighs
more than 1.5 times the weight of
the towing vehicle.
Use Safety
Lights and Devices
▲ Slow moving tractors, self-pro-
pelled equipment and towed
implements can create a hazard
when driven on public roads. They
are difficult to see, especially at
night.
▲ Flashing warning lights and turn
signals are recommended when-
ever driving on public roads. Use
lights and devices provided with
implement.
Practice Safe Maintenance
▲ Understand procedure before
doing work. Use proper tools and
equipment.
Refer to “Mainte-
nance and Lubrication,” page
28, for additional information.
▲ Work in a clean, dry area.
▲ Lower the implement to the
ground, put tractor in park, turn off
engine, and remove key before
preforming maintenance.
▲ Install all transport locks as
explained under Lifting the Imple-
ment,
“Operating Instructions,”
page 14, before working underneath
the raised drill.
▲ Do not grease or oil implement
while it is in operation.
▲ Disk edges are sharp. Be careful
when working in this area.
▲ Disconnect battery ground cable
(-) before servicing or adjusting
electrical systems or before weld-
ing on implement.
▲ Inspect all parts. Make sure parts
are in good condition and installed
properly.
▲ Remove buildup of grease, oil or
debris.
▲ Remove all tools and unused
parts from implement before oper-
ation.
Use A Safety Chain
▲ Use a safety chain to help con-
trol drawn machinery should it
separate from the tractor draw-
bar.
▲ Use a chain with the strength
rating equal to or greater than
the total weight of the towed
machinery.
▲ Attach the chain to the tractor
drawbar support or other speci-
fied anchor location. Allow only
enough slack in the chain to per-
mit turning.
▲ Do not use safety chain for tow-
ing.
