CAUTION!
GENERAL SAFETY PRACTICES
REVIEW this manual and operator’s manual before
servicing equipment.
NEVER allow anyone unfamiliar, untrained, or
complacent to operate the drill.
ALWAYS USE the jack supplied when unhooking the
drill.
NEVER transport the drill at speeds higher than 32 km/hr
(20 mph).
MAINTAIN YOUR DRILLin proper working condition.
Unauthorized modifications to the machine may impair
function and/or safety and affect machine life.
It is PREFERRED to transport the drill separately without
an air cart attached. However, this is not always practical.
If you are transporting the drill with a tow between aircart,
the air cart should be full. If you are transporting the drill
with a tow behind air cart, the air cart should be empty.
BE SURE the drill is securely fastened to a large farm
tractor or an air cart that is attached to a large farm tractor
before operating hydraulics.
USE EXTREME CARE when making adjustments.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY from all farm equipment.
SERVICING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
BLOCK the wheels to prevent movement when servicing. BE SURE the subbar cylinder locks are in place before
servicingoradjustingopenerassembliesorworkingonthe
drill.
The tractor engine should be stopped and the
wheels blocked to prevent any movement during
servicing.
Always be sure that the depth control safety lock
is in place when servicing the drill.
Always be sure the wings are in field position
before servicing the drill.
Escaping hydraulic fluid is a serious hazard.
Escapinghydraulicfluidthatisunderpressurecan
penetratetheskin,causingseriousinjury. Relieve
pressurebefore disconnectingthehydrauliclines.
Check/tighten all connections before applying
pressure.
Never use your hand to search for leaks. Use a
piece of cardboard or paper. If any fluid is
injected into the skin, seek immediate medical
attention. Gangrene may result if the wound is
not treated within a few hours. Check your
hydraulic fluid containers for warnings concerning
the hydraulic fluids you use.
DO NOT walk within the radius of raised drill
wings.
Failure to comply with these cautions may result
in serious injury or death.

SAFETY DURING OPERATION
DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE ON THE DRILL while
operating the drill hydraulics.
NEVERdisconnectthetractorfromthedrillwhile thedrill
wings are raised.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY from the drill during
operation.
NEVER STAND within the radius of the raised wings.
Hydraulic or mechanical failure may result in rapid or
uncontrolled falling of the wings.
OPERATE the wings onlyon level ground with the depth
control fully raised.
PARK ON LEVEL GROUND and block adequately.
AVOID moving machines.
DISENGAGE POWER AND SHUT DOWN the tractor
engine (remove the key from the tractor ignition), be
certain that all moving parts have stopped, and allpressure
in the system is relieved BEFORE cleaning, adjusting or
lubricating the drill.

READ the operators manual thoroughly.
KEEP the service area clean.
DO NOT enter tight areas.
BE CERTAIN machine is tagged ‘out of order’ or work
area is supervised.
DO NOT work around rotating equipment. Loose
clothing,rings,watchbands,etc.,maygetcaughtandcause
serious injury.
BE CERTAIN all moving parts have stopped before
servicing.

AIR AND AIR HOSES
COMPRESSOR HOSES may move unexpectedly when
suddenly disconnected.
USE PROPER air nozzles. Do not use compressed air to
clean clothing or otherwise direct it toward yourself.
AVOID getting chemicals into eyes. Use eye protection.
HYDRAULICS AND HYDRAULIC LEAKS
AVOID high-pressure fluids.
ESCAPING HYDRAULIC FLUID IS A SERIOUS
HAZARD. Escapinghydraulic fluidthatisunder pressure
can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Relieve
pressure before disconnecting the hydraulic lines.
Check/tightenallconnectionsBEFOREapplyingpressure.
BEWARE excessive hydraulic pressure. Explosive
structural failure can result.
BEWARE air locks in cylinders. Large cylinder
displacements can occur without hydraulic oil flow.

SHIELDS
REPAIR damaged shields.
KEEP all shields in place.
BE EXTRA CAUTIOUS when repairing or servicing
without protective shields.
ELECTRICAL
REMOVE the ground wire to avoid arcing contacts.
REMOVE GROUND WIRE when welding.
TIRES
USE A CAGE IF POSSIBLE when setting tires on rims.
AVOID excessive air pressure.
DO NOT OVERINFLATE tires. NEVER lean over a tire
while inflating it.

SAFETY DURING TRANSPORT
CHECK with local authorities regarding transport on
public roads. Obey all applicable laws and regulations.
ONLY TOW at a safe speed [32 km/hr (20 mph)]. Use
caution when turning corners or meeting traffic.
BE SURE safety lighting is plugged in and that the red
taillight(s), amber flashers, and amber signal lights are all
working properly.
ALWAYS be certain that noone is behind or near the drill
before moving it.
BE SURE all safety transport locks are in place before
transporting the drill.
BE SURE the reflector decals are clearly visible from all
sides of the drill and the ‘Slow Moving Vehicle’ sign is at
the rear of the drill in clear view of overtaking traffic.
BE SURE the tractor weight is equal to or greater than the
total weight of the air cart and drill.
BE SURE all the wheel bolts are torqued to proper
specifications before transporting the drill.
WATCH for power poles and overhead power lines.
ALWAYS lock the tractor drawbar when transporting the
drill.
ALWAYS park the drill on level ground and block the
wheels before unhooking from the towing vehicle.
NEVER subject the drill to steep side grades while in
transport position.
ALWAYS use the hitch jack supplied with the drill when
unhooking from the tractor.
NEVER brake or decelerate during cornering.
ALWAYS enter corners slowly. SLOW the machine to
turning speed before entering a corner.
DO NOT decelerate while executing the turn.
SAFETY DECALS
KEEP SAFETY DECALS CLEAN. Wipe clean when
necessary.
CHECK that the safety decals are not obstructed by the
openers. If the decals are covered up, replace in a location
that is clear to view.
REPLACE missing or unreadable decals. New decals are
available from your dealer.
To replace decals:
1. Remove the old decal. Clean the area where the new
decal will be affixed.
2. Removethedecalbacking. Carefullyaffix thedecal to
the drill.
3. Work the air bubbles out from under the decal. Use a
clean piece of paper or the decal backing itself.
