Electrocution hazard. To prevent serious injury or death from
electric shock, keep clear of overhead power lines when trans-
porting, folding, unfolding or operating all air implement com-
ponents. Machine is not grounded. At higher voltages,
electrocution can occur without direct contact.
Great Plains recommends transporting the assembly
with cart empty. Although designed for highway move-
ment when loaded, the additional weight of seed may
cause the implement assembly to exceed the rated abil-
ity of the tractor, makes the assembly more difficult to
control and stop, and increases wear on cart tires and
wheel bearings.
Use a tractor that weighs at least 2/3 (67%) of the imple-
ment plus cart assembly weight (see table below).
Towing the implement at high speeds or with a vehicle that is
not heavy enough can lead to loss of vehicle control. Loss of
vehicle control can lead to serious road accidents, injury and
death. To reduce the hazard:
▲ Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph).
▲ Do not tow an assembly that weighs more than 1.5 times the
weight of the towing vehicle. (See table below)
The implement is designed to hitch to a Great Plains air cart
only. Hitching the implement to any vehicle other than a Great
Plains air cart will create an unstable towing load and can
lead to road accidents, injury and death. To avoid the hazard,
transport hitched to a Great Plains air cart.
