rugged and simple construcon, with a minimum of moving parts.
However, to obtain maximum performance from your Dalton Ag Equipment, it is necessary to follow the
instrucons and safety suggesons in this manual. Each secon has been carefully prepared for the purpose
of providing needed and valuable informaon to the owner and operator. Each operator of this unit should be

IMPLEMENT SAFETY
In addion to design and conguraon of equipment, safety and accident prevenon are dependent upon the aware-
ness, concern, and proper training of personnel involved in the operaon, transport, maintenance, and storage of equip-
ment. Failing to follow these safety messages can result in machine damage, personal injury, and/or death.
• Before operang your applicator, thoroughly read and understand your operator’s manual. If you do not understand
any poron of the operator’s manual, contact your local Dalton Ag dealer immediately for claricaon.
• Furnish this manual to a new operator.
• Tow with tractor only. Never transport applicator unit in excess of 20 MPH. Maintain a safe speed.
• Use a Slow-Moving-Vehicle (SMV) emblem when transporng.
• Be sure safety decals are readable. All safety related decals must be replaced if the applicator is painted or the de-
cals are otherwise rendered unreadable.
• Install transport link before transporng.
• Always check for overhead obstacles in transporng applicator and before folding or unfolding the wings of the unit.
• Never permit riders on the applicator or tractor.
• Proceed slowly on rough or slippery roadways, on side hills, and around curves to avoid pping.
• Reduce speed when approaching ditches and corners. Do not make sharp turns with brakes.
• Machinery should be operated only by persons familiar to the tractor, applicator unit, and the safety related items.
• Do not stand on, or straddle tongue when unhitching.
• Do not modify or permit anyone to modify this applicator and any of its components without rst consulng your
Dalton Ag dealer.
• Do not lubricate, adjust, or repair when applicator unit is in moon.
• Use only approved replacement parts.
• To prevent serious injury from high pressure uid, NEVER aempt to inspect, service, or disassemble any part of the
hydraulic system unl all pressure is relieved by lowering the toolbar to the ground (or secure with cylinder transport
stops provided).
• High-pressure uid is nearly invisible but has enough force to penetrate the skin. Never use the hands to search
out a suspected leak. If injured by escaping uid, obtain medical aenon at once to minimize chance of infecon.
Wear safety glasses or goggles to avoid eye injury when working on the hydraulic system.
• Always check torque on wheel bolts before transporng.

PRE-SEASON CHECK
1. Carefully review the safety suggesons in this manual.
2. Check all bolts for proper ghtness. When the implement is new, check aer one hour and every few
hours of operaon.
3. Replace ground tools that are severely worn, broken or damaged.
4. Check res for proper inaon. All res should be inated equally to avoid side dra.
5. Check the wheel lug bolts daily, keep wheel bolts ght.
6. Grease all ngs.
7. Inspect, repack, or replace (if necessary) wheel bearings and seals.
8. Check hoses, hose roung and hydraulic cylinders. Any indicaon of leakage or fraying of hoses
should be corrected.
OFF-SEASON STORAGE
Following these suggesons will extend service life and sasfacon:
1. A lile me and eort spent cleaning your machine before storing will repay in longer service, easier
operaon and higher resale value.
2. Inspect for worn or damaged parts. Replace, if required, and avoid delays the next season.
3. Repaint all areas where the original paint is worn o.
4. Lubricate your implement.
5. Grease all exposed metal surfaces of ground tools.
6. Store the unit inside a shed to protect from weather and on a level area with wings down. The ground
working parts should rest on boards.
7. Disconnect the rod end of the li cylinders and retract the rod into the cylinder to prevent the cylinder
rod from rusng.
8. Cap or plug all hydraulic oil lines, if the cylinders are removed. This is to prevent any contaminants
from entering the hydraulic system.
9. Raise res o ground or remove and store in cool dry locaon out of sunlight.

IMPORTANT : Over ghtening hardware can be as damaging as under ghtening.
Tightening beyond recommended torque will reduce the fastener’s shock load capacity.
WARNING: Never work around any raised implement while in the
raised posion without using safety lockups.
