INTRODUCTION
The Safety Section of this manual is intended to point out
some of the basic safety situations in which can be
encountered during normal operation of your planter. This
section also suggests possible ways of dealing with those
situations. The section is NOT a replacement for other
safety practices featured in other sections of this manual.
Additional precautions can be necessary, depending on
attachments used and conditions at the work site or in the
service area. AGCO has no direct control over planter
application, operation, inspection, lubrication or
maintenance. Therefore, it is your responsibility to use
good safety practices in those areas.
NOTE: This manual is published for North American
distribution, and availability of equipment shown
either as basic or accessory can vary according
to the territory in which the planter will be
operated. Full details of equipment available in
your area can be obtained from your planter
dealer. Use only AGCO approved attachments
and equipment.
PREPARE FOR OPERATION
Read this manual completely and make sure you
understand the controls. Know the positions and
operations of all controls before you operate this machine.
Check all controls in an area clear of people and
obstacles before starting your work.
All equipment has a limit. Make sure you understand the
speed, brakes, steering, stability, and load characteristics
of this machine and your tractor before you start.
Make sure your machine has the correct equipment
needed by the local regulations.
mWARNING: An operator should not use
alcohol or drugs which can affect their
alertness or coordination. An operator on
prescription or Over the counter drugs
needs medical advice on whether or not
they can properly operate machines.
UNDERSTANDING PLANTER SAFETY
It is YOUR responsibility to read and understand the
Safety Section before operating your planter. You must
follow the safety instructions that take you step-by-step
through the workday.
Remember that you are the key to safety. Good safety
practices not only protect you, but also those people
around you. Study the features in this manual and make
them a working part of your safety program. Keep in mind
that this Safety Section is written specifically for a planter.
Practice all other usual and customary safe working
precautions.
REMEMBER: SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY,
ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH.
NOTE: This manual covers general safety practices for
this machine. The Operator Manual must always
be kept with the machine.
mWARNING: Pictures in this manual may
show protective shields and guards opened
or removed for illustration purposes. BE
SURE ALL SHIELDS AND GUARDS ARE IN
PLACE DURING OPERATION.

Safety
GENRERAL OPERATION AND SERVICE
Operating
• Read and understand all the operating and safety
precautions before operating machinery.
• In addition to equipment configuration and design,
hazard control and accident prevention depend on
awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of
personnel in the operation, maintenance, transport
and storage of equipment.
• Always raise implement, shut off tractor engine, set
the parking brake, shift to park position (or neutral)
remove the key and install cylinder lockup channels
before working around the machine.
• Avoid working under the planter. However, if it
becomes unavoidable to do so, make sure the planter
is securely blocked and the cylinder lockup channels
are in place.
• Do not attempt to lubricate or adjust the planter while
the machine is in operation.
• Machinery operation can be performed only by
persons who are responsible and delegated to do so.
• Only the operator must be permitted on the tractor
(unless tractor has a factory-installed instructor seat)
when the tractor and the planter are moving. Never
permit anyone to ride on the planter.
• Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing and jewelry.
Always tie up long hair that can be caught in moving
parts.
• Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) such as,
but not limited to, protection for eyes, lungs, ears,
head, hands and feet when operating, servicing or
repairing equipment.
• Make sure bystanders are clear before operating
tractor or machine.
• Do not leave tractor or implement unattended with
the engine running.
• Never attempt to operate the planter unless seated in
the operator’s seat on the tractor.
• Tractor must be equipped with rollover protective
structure (ROPS), and a seat belt. Use seat belt
during operation.
• Make sure the tractor is in good operating condition,
and has adequate braking capabilities.
• Do not dismount from a moving tractor.
• Regulate ground speed to field conditions, and
maintain control at all times.
• When working around discs, be careful to not get cut
on sharp edges.
• Watch for overhead wires or other obstructions when
raising markers, and when moving the planter with
marker(s) raised.
• Disconnect and store planter where children do not
normally play. Stabilize the planter by using suitable
supports, and block the wheels.
• Always lower the planter when not in use and relieve
the pressure in hoses and cylinders.
• Do not allow children to ride on, play on, or operate
equipment. Always keep children away from
equipment operating, servicing, and storage areas.
• Do not stand between the tractor and the planter to
install hitch pin when the tractor engine is running.

Safety
Agricultural Chemicals
• Ag chemicals can be very hazardous. Improper use
of fertilizer, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides and
pesticides can injure people, plants, animals, soil and
other people's property.
• Always read and follow all manufacturers' instructions
before opening any chemical container.
• Even if you think you know them, read and follow
instructions each time you use a chemical.
• Use same precautions when adjusting, servicing,
cleaning or storing planter as used when installing
chemicals into the hoppers or tanks.
• Inform anyone who comes in contact with chemicals
of the potential hazards involved and the safety
precautions required.
• Stand upwind and away from smoke from a chemical
fire.
• Store or dispose of all unused chemicals only in a
manner as specified by the chemical manufacturer.
Transporting
• Do not transport planter in excess of 24 km/h (15
mph).
• Use good judgment when transporting the planter on
the highway. Maintain complete control of the
machine at all times.
• Use tractor of recommended size and weight to tow
the machine.
• Comply with state and local laws governing highway
safety and regulations when moving machinery.
• Always make the necessary safety precautions prior
to transporting machine on public roads.
• Make sure the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) sign is
clean and visible.
• Use flashing warning s except when prohibited by
law.
• Watch for overhead wires or other obstructions when
transporting the planter with markers raised.
• Connect the transport safety chain to the tractor
drawbar and use a retainer on the hitch pin.
• Install marker lockup pins before transporting or
parking planter.
• Install wheel cylinder lockup channels before
transporting or parking planter.
• Vertical Fold Models: Always install wing lockup pins
before transporting or parking planter.

Safety
Servicing
FIG. 7: Fluid Leak Detection
• Correct hydraulic leaks immediately. All fittings must
be tight and all lines and hoses in good condition.
Escaping hydraulic fluid, under extremely high
pressure, can penetrate the skin and cause blood
poisoning. Use a piece of wood or cardboard to
detect fluid leaks (Fig. 1). If injured by escaping fluid,
see a doctor immediately.
• After repairing or adjusting planter, remove all tools
and parts from machine before operating it.
• When working around discs, be careful to not get cut
on sharp edges.
• Lower planter to the ground before attempting to
remove a wheel for tire repair.
• Tire changing can be very hazardous and must be
done by trained personnel using proper tools and
equipment.
• Do not re-inflate the tire that was seriously
under-inflated or run flat. Have it checked by qualified
personnel.
LOCKUP DEVICES
Flat-Fold Markers
FIG. 8: The lockout valve in the closed position (1).
