DURING OPERATION
• Exercise extreme caution with operating the drill on steep slopes or grades.
• Be sure all spectators are clear of the area where the drill is in operation or raised and lowered.
• Be sure the tractor operator is the only person riding the tractor. Allow no one to ride the drill at any time.
• Remember, loose clothing, necklaces and similar items are more easily caught in moving parts. Avoid the
use of these items if possible and keep long hair conned.
• Never work under the drill when the drill is lifted up unless the safety stop bar is in position.
• Watch out for and avoid any object that might interfere with the proper operation of the machine.
DURING SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Before performing any maintenance or adjustments make sure machine is NOT running.
• Before working on or near drill for any reason including servicing, lubricating, cleaning, inspecting
or relling, or if working under drill or detaching from tractor, install safety stop bar on the hydraulic
cylinder.
• When replacing any part on your drill, be sure to use only DuraTech Industries authorized parts.
• Relieve all pressure in the hydraulic system before disconnecting the lines or performing other work
on the system. Make sure all connections are tight and the hoses and lines are in good condition before
applying pressure to the system.
CAUTION: Hydraulic uid escaping under pressure can be invisible and have enough force to
penetrate the skin. When searching for a suspected leak, use a piece of wood or cardboard rather than
your hands. If injured, seek medical attention immediately to prevent serious infection or reaction.
• Be careful when using a hoist or other lifting device. Use only devices that have adequate lifting capacity
and be sure the chain or cable is securely attached.

Section 2: Dealer Preparation
2.1 Gauge Wheel Attachment
The heavy duty gauge wheels mount on the tool bar in front of the drill. The gauge wheels are adjustable to maintain a
uniform planting depth when on side hills.
INSTALLATION
Step 1: Place the gauge wheel mount assembly in front of the second run assembly from either tool bar end.
See the accompanying illustration.
Step 2: Mount the gauge wheel mount assembly to the tool bar by using two gauge wheel mount straps and
four 5/8” x 6-1/2” hex bolts, lock washer and nuts provided. See accompanying illustration.
Step 3: Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for the gauge wheel on the other side of the tool bar.
Step 4: Lift the tool bar using the drill’s hydraulics and insert both gauge wheels into the bottom of the
gauge wheel mount assemblies. See the accompanying illustration.
Step 5: If conditions prevent Step 4 from being done, the gauge wheels can be inserted into the front of
the gauge wheel mount assemblies. To do this, remove all four bolt sleeves (two per gauge wheel
mount assembly) by unbolting the four 3/4” x 6” hex bolts, lock washers and nuts and push the
gauge wheels into the mount assemblies. Bolt the bolt sleeves on to the gauge wheel mount
assemblies again.
Step 6: Adjust the gauge wheels to the desired position by inserting the adjustment handle through the
proper gauge wheel adjustment with the hair pin. This adjustment determines the gauge wheel
height that maintains the uniform planting depth on side hills. See the accompanying illustration.
