General Safety Rules
1. Read and understand instructions provided in this manual
and warning labels. Review these instructions frequently!
2. This machine is designed and built with your safety in mind.
Do not make any alterations or changes to this machine.
Any alteration to design or construction may create safety
hazards.
3. A large portion of farm accidents happen from fatigue
or carelessness. Safe and careful operation of tractor and
planter will help prevent accidents.
4. Never allow planter to be operated by anyone unfamiliar
with operation of all functions of the unit. Operators must
read and thoroughly understand all instructions given in this
manual before operating or working on equipment.
5. Be aware of bystanders, particularly children! Always look
around to make sure it is safe to start tow vehicle engine or
move planter. This is particularly important with higher noise
levels and quiet cabs, as you may not hear people shouting.
6. Make sure planter weight does not exceed towing capacity
of tractor, or bridge and road limits. This is critical to maintain
safe control and prevent death or injury, or property and
equipment damage.
7. Never ride or allow others to ride on planter.
8. Store planter in an area away from human activity. DO
NOT permit children to play on or around the stored unit.
9. Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from moving parts.
Do not wear loose-fitting clothing which may catch in moving
parts.
10. Always wear protective clothing, shoes, gloves, hearing,
and eye protection applicable for the situation.
11. Do not allow anyone to stand between tongue or hitch
and towing vehicle when backing up to planter.
13. Prevent electrocution, other injuries, or property and
equipment damage. Watch for obstructions such as wires,
tree limbs, etc. when operating machine. Be aware of
clearances during turns and when folding/unfolding planter.
14. Reinstall all guards removed for maintenance activities.
Never leave guards off during operation.
15. Use of aftermarket hydraulic, electric, or PTO drives may
create serious safety hazards to you and people nearby. If
you install such drives, follow all appropriate safety standards
and practices to protect you and others near this planter from
injury.
16. Follow all federal, state/provincial, and local regulations
when towing farm equipment on a public highway. Use safety
chain (not an elastic or nylon/plastic tow strap) to retain
connection between towing and towed machines in the event
of primary attaching system separation.
17. Make sure all safety/warning lights, SMV sign, and
reflective decals are in place and working properly before
transporting the machine on public roads.
18. Limit towing speed to 15 MPH (25 km/h). Tow only with
farm tractor of a minimum 90 HP. Allow for unit length when
making turns.
19. Reduce speed prior to turns to avoid the risk of
overturning. Always drive at a safe speed relative to local
conditions and ensure your speed is slow enough for a
safe emergency stop.
20. Chemical application is often an integral part of
planting. Follow label instructions for proper chemical
mixing, handling and container disposal methods.
21. Be familiar with safety procedures for immediate first
aid should you accidentally contact chemical substances.
22. Use the proper protective clothing and safety
equipment when handling chemicals.
23. Chemicals are supplied with Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS) that provide full information about the
chemical, its effects on exposure, and first aid needs in the
event of an emergency. Keep your MSDS file up-to-date
and available for first responders in case of emergency.
24. When servicing ground engaging components such as
opening disks and firming points, use special care to avoid
points and edges worn sharp during use.
25. Use professional help if you are unfamiliar with working
on hydraulic systems. Pressurized hydraulic fluid can
penetrate body tissue and result in death, serious infection,
or other injuries.
Never pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into
any water source.
When disposing of waste such as oil, use leakproof
containers. Be sure to use containers that do not resemble
food or beverage which may mislead someone into
