Practice Safe Maintenance

Understand procedure before doing work. Use proper tools

and equipment. Refer to this manual for additional informa-
tion.

Work in a clean, dry area.
Lower the planter, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and

remove key before performing maintenance.

Make sure all moving parts have stopped and all system

pressure is relieved.

Allow planter to cool completely.
Disconnect battery ground cable (-) before servicing or

adjusting electrical systems or before welding on planter.

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 planter before

operation.

Tire Safety

Tire changing can be dangerous and should be per-
formed by trained personnel using correct tools and
equipment.

When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose

long enough for you to stand to one side–not in front of or
over tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.

When removing and installing wheels, use wheel-handling

equipment adequate for weight involved.

Use Safety Lights and Devices

Slow-moving tractors and towed implements can create
a hazard when driven on public roads. They are difficult
to see, especially at night.

Use flashing warning lights and turn signals whenever driv-

ing on public roads.

Use lights and devices provided with implement.

Keep Riders Off Machinery

Riders obstruct the operator’s view. Riders could be
struck by foreign objects or thrown from the machine.

Never allow children to operate equipment.
Keep all bystanders away from machine during operation.
