Important Safety Information
Read “Important Safety Information” in the Operator
Manual for both air cart and air drill.
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 is also used to alert against unsafe practices.
Review Operating Information
s Review Operator Manuals included with drill and cart.
s Read and understand “Safety Decals” in Operator
Manuals.
s Read all instructions noted on the decals.

Prepare for Emergencies
s Be prepared if a fire starts
s Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy.
s Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance, hospital
and fire department near phone.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin,
causing serious injury.
s Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting
hydraulic lines.
s Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to
check for suspected leaks.
s Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when
working with hydraulic systems.
s If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical attention
from a physician familiar with this type of injury.
Check for Overhead Lines
Drill markers contacting overhead electrical lines can
introduce lethal voltage levels on implement and tractor
frames. A person touching almost any metal part can
complete the circuit to ground, resulting in serious injury
or death. At higher voltages, electrocution can occur
without direct contact.
s Avoid overhead lines during marker installation, auger
seed loading/unloading and marker operations.

Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for assembly and/or cart is 20
mph (32 kph). Some rough terrains require a slower
speed. Sudden braking can cause a towed load to
swerve and upset.
s Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph). Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate control of steering and
stopping. Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with
brakes.
s Comply with national, regional and local laws.
s Follow your tractor manual recommendations for
maximum hitch loads. Insufficient weight on tractor
steering wheels will result in loss of control.
s Carry reflectors or flags to mark implements in case of
breakdown on the road.
s Keep clear of overhead power lines and other obstructions
when transporting. Refer to transport dimensions under
“Specifications and Capacities” in Operator manual.
Practice Safe Maintenance
s Understand procedure before doing work. Use proper tools
and equipment. Refer to this manual for additional
information.
s Work in a clean, dry area.
s Put tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove key before
performing maintenance.
s Make sure all moving parts have stopped and all system
pressure is relieved.
s Disconnect battery ground cable (-) before servicing or
adjusting electrical systems or before welding on
implements.
s Inspect all parts. Make sure parts are in good condition and
installed properly.
s Remove buildup of grease, oil or debris.
s Remove all tools and unused parts from implements before
operation.

NTA3010, NTA3510 and ADC Table of Contents Air Cart Pre-Delivery 6
Unload Air Cart
The ADC2220 or ADC2350B is normally ordered with an
NTA-3010/3510 drill, and delivered on two or more
flatbed trucks. Un-installed components may be on the
air cart truck, the drill truck (single-truck delivery), or on a
separate truck.
Note:The air cart is loaded for lift delivery.
Hoist is not recommended.
Do not attempt dock unload.
Hopper damage is likely if hoisting is attempted.
Refer to Figure 1
1. Have the truck parked where it can be driven out
from under an elevated air cart, and where two fork
lifts can approach the cart from each side.
2. Use fork lifts or hoists to remove everything except
the air cart from the truck. This will include wheels for
the air cart, and may include crates of drill parts and
un-installed options. Do not install any components
on the air cart while still on the truck.
Figure 1
Air Cart on Truck
28207
Have at least four people available for the lift:
- a qualified operator for each forklift,
- an observer to monitor side-to-side level, and
- the truck driver.
Establish and practice commands for the observer to signal
each operator for lift, stop, drive, lower, as well as
emergency procedures. If these operators have not previously
performed a team lift, have them practice simultaneous lift,
face-to-face with no load.

2022-04-14 Table of Contents 160-220M
Lift Air Cart on Truck
Use two fork lifts, each rated for at least 9000 pounds
(4082 kg) for ADC2350. Have two cargo straps at hand.
Spread the forks on each lifter as wide as possible. Have
each lift approach the cart near the ladder.
Refer to Figure 2
1. Place the forks under the lower side frame tubes, on
either side of the ladder, and as far forward on the air
cart as possible.
This places the front fork /F\ as close to the tongue
joint as possible, and places the back fork /B\ as
close to the ladder as possible.
2. Secure both forks to the frame tube with cargo
straps.
3. Lift the cart about a foot (30cm).
4. Signal the driver to pull the truck away.
5. Lower the cart to the ground.
Locate Parts
Review the Parts Lists beginning on page 39. Determine
which crates or cartons contain the items.
