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, and the color Safety Red, indicate an
imminent hazard 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, and the color Safety Orange, indicate a
potential hazard 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, and the color Safety Yellow, indicate a
potential hazard which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert
against unsafe practices.
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 “Safety Decals” on page 5,
thoroughly.
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.
Handle Chemicals Properly
Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper use
can seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil and
property.
Do not use liquid seed treatments with the drill.
Read and follow chemical manufacturer’s instructions.
Wear protective clothing.
Handle all chemicals with care.
Avoid inhaling smoke from any type of chemical fire.
Never drain, rinse or wash dispensers within 100 feet
(30m) of a freshwater source, nor at a car wash.
Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by
chemical manufacturer.
Dispose of empty chemical containers properly. Laws
generally require power rinsing or rinsing three times,
followed by perforation of the container to prevent re-use.
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.

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
Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for implement is 20 mph
(30 km/h). Some rough terrains require a slower speed.
Sudden braking can cause a towed load to swerve and
upset.
Do not exceed 20 mph (30 km/h). Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate control of steering and
stopping. Reduce speed if drill is not equipped with
brakes.
Comply with state and local laws.
Carry reflectors or flags to mark drill in case of
breakdown on the road.
Semi-mounted and 3-point implements reduce weight on
steering tires. Verify that tractor is correctly ballasted.
Watch for signs of poor steering traction.
Tires Not a Step
Do not use gauge wheel or lift-assist tires as steps. A tire
could spin underfoot, resulting in a fall onto the
implement or ground, possibly causing serious injury.
The gauge wheel tires can be in poor ground contact at
any time, even with the drill lowered in the field. They can
appear to be in ground contact, and spin easily, in
multiple conditions.
The lift-assist tires can be in poor ground contact, or out
of ground contact, whenever the drill is lowered.
Shutdown and Storage
Park on level ground.
Unhitch and store the drill 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.

Route Hose Bundle
Refer to Figure 8
1. Route the hose bundle under the rear cross-tube
of the tongue, into the access hole , and out the
front of the tongue tube near the hitch.
2. Remove the hose plugs and color-coded hose grips
before attempting to route the hydraulic hoses
through the tongue.
3. Once hydraulic hoses are routed through the tongue,
attach color-coded grips to the correct hydraulic
hose. Retract grip and hose go to the rod end of the
cylinder. Extend grip and hose go to the base end of
the cylinder.
Rephasing Cylinders
The lift cylinders may, after a period of time, get out of
time or phase. The effects of this can be seen when
one side of the drill is running too low or too high
because its lift cylinder is either over extended or not
retracted compared to the other lift cylinder.
To rephase the cylinders, raise drill completely and hold
tractor hydraulic lever on for a few seconds to give
cylinders time to rephase.
Each time drill is raised out of ground momentarily
reverse hydraulic lever immediately after rephasing to
allow cylinders to retract about 1/2inch. This will help in
maintaining a level drill.
NOTE:
Understand that having cylinders become gradually
out of time is different than having air trapped in the
system from improper bleeding. Each condition is
corrected differently.
