ITEMS:
1. Read and follow the “
Safety Rules
” on page 1-1.
2. Read all hook-up and operating instructions.
3. Check tire pressure. Proper inflation is listed in the "Tire Inflation Chart" on page 1-5.
4. Inspect the feeder cups and seed tubes for foreign matter.
5. Rotate each gauge wheel to see that the drive system is operating smoothly.
6. Arrange drive sprockets for drive type desired.
7. Set seed rate. For calibrating seed rate see "Seeding Adjustments" on page 5-1.
8. Check disk opener scrapers for proper adjustment in order for disk blades to rotate freely.
9. Lubricate the drill as needed.
10.Read and follow the “ Drill Preparations ” on page 7-1.
11.Check the drill initially and periodically for loose bolts, pins, and chains.
12.Check for leaks in the hydraulic system. Refer to Caution listed below.
CAUTION!
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the
skin. Check all hydraulic lines and hoses before applying pressure. Fluid escaping from a
very small hole can be almost invisible. Use paper or cardboard, not body parts, 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.
