Important Safety Information
Look for Safety Symbol
The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a
potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra
safety precaution must be taken. When you see this
symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that
follows it. In addition to design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are
dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and
proper training of personnel involved in the operation,
transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
Be Aware of Signal Words
Signal words designate a degree or level of hazard
seriousness.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
This signal word is limited to the most extreme situations,
typically for machine components that, for functional
purposes, cannot be guarded.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when
guards are removed. It may also be used to alert against
unsafe practices.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe
practices.
Use Adequate Lifting Means
The frame sections and gangs of this machine are
extremely heavy. If using multiple lifters, make sure each
is rated for at least its share of the load.
Prepare for Emergencies
Be prepared if a fire starts
Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy.
Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance, hospital
and fire department near phone.

Be Familiar with Safety Decals
Read and understand the “Safety Decals” section of the
Operators Manual.
Read all instructions noted on the decals.
Keep decals clean. Replace damaged, faded and illegible
decals.
Wear Protective Equipment
Wear protective clothing and equipment.
Wear clothing and equipment appropriate for the job.
Avoid loose-fitting clothing.
Because prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause
hearing impairment or hearing loss, wear suitable
hearing protection such as earmuffs or earplugs.
Because operating equipment safely requires your full
attention, avoid wearing entertainment headphones while
operating machinery.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin,
causing serious injury.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines.
Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to
check for suspected leaks.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when
working with hydraulic systems.
If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical assistance
from a physician familiar with this type of injury.
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
driving 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.
Shutdown and Storage
Lower implement, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and
remove the key.
Secure FCA4500 using blocks and supports provided.
Detach and store FCA4500 in an area where children
normally do not play.

Tire Safety
Tire changing can be dangerous and should be
performed 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.
Safety At All Times
Thoroughly read and understand the instructions in this
manual before operation. Read all instructions noted on
the safety decals.
Be familiar with all machine functions.
Operate machinery from the driver’s seat only.
Do not leave machine unattended with tractor engine
running.
Do not stand between the tractor and machine during
hitching.
Keep hands, feet and clothing away from power-driven
parts.
Wear snug-fitting clothing to avoid entanglement with
moving parts.
Watch out for wires, trees, etc., when folding and raising
machine. Make sure all persons are clear of working area.

Shipping Inventory
The machine will be shipped partially assembled, as
shown, in several big shipping racks and shipping
boxes. The K-Flex mounts should be installed in the
correct locations on the frames. The openers and the
reel baskets will be assembled but will need to be install
in the correct location on the machine. Locate the reel
arms, opener arm mounts, opener arms and mounting
hardware before installing. See “FCA4500-7275
Opener Layout” on page 40 & 35 for proper
placement.
Refer to Figure 3
•All frame sections, hitch and torque tubes will be
shipped in shipping container.

FCA4500 Table of Contents Index Introduction 7
2019-03-21 Table of Contents Index 560-594Q-ENG
Refer to Figure 4
•Shank parts, small parts and bolts will be shipped in
boxes or secured and sitting on the bottom of the
shipping racks. Openers will be attached to their
respective attachment bars and will need installed
with mounts onto the rear or the frame sections.
Shipping stands, and racks do not need to be returned
to Great Plains.
Unloading
Once everything is unloaded from “storage pod” you may
proceed with taking parts out of shipping containers.
Carefully move everything to a level site and prepare to
un-pack items.
Unpacking Components
Be sure you have read and understood the Important
Safety Information, starting on page 1 of this manual,
before you start unpacking componets.
Unload Smaller Items First
Unloading the frames is a potentially dangerous
operation.
Reduce risk and complication by first unloading
6. the tires, gauge wheel assemblies,
7. boxes, crates
8. the smaller items
Place these components well out of the maneuvering
area needed for unloading the shipping racks.
Centering componets:
Be sure and center fork truck or chains (overhead hoist)
on componets so they won’t slide and cause injury.
Unload individual componets one at a time using a fork
truck or overhead hoist. Place frame sections on level
ground using shipping stands or assembly stands if
available.
Move each component out of the way so you have plenty
of room to remove the next one.
9. Carefully unload the shipping racks that contain the
frames and cart components out of shipping container
Unpacking Boxes
10. Carefully remove banding and lids from boxes.
11. Locate and identify all componets and hardware
before assembling.
