1.1 INTRODUCTION
Read and understand this manual before using your fertilizer/cover crop applicator, and follow all of the safety instructions.
Keep all manuals in a safe place inside your tractor at all times.
fertilizer. 2208 and 2108 machines are generally utilized for cover crop application. In this manual, fertilizer and cover crop/
seed are used interchangeable to describe the function of the machine.
Some components on your Gen 2 metering system may have separate instruction manuals. Where this manual indicates
that you should read another manual, and you do not have that manual, contact your dealer or Montag Manufacturing for
assistance.
Information provided in this manual was current as of the issue date. Montag Manufacturing reserves the right to make
design changes without further notice or liability.
This manual covers 2218, 2208, and 2108 models. While there are dierences between these models, many
aspects of safety and operation are shared between them. Please be aware that there may be minor dierences
between the images shown in this manual and the physical product.

2.1 SECTION OVERVIEW
This section explains the level of risk and potential hazards associated with operating and maintaining Montag Particulate
2.2 SAFETY
This Owner’s Manual covers the particulate metering system produced by Montag Manufacturing. Before operating or
servicing the fertilizer applicator, you must read, understand and follow the instructions and safety warnings in this manual.
Your fertilizer applicator may not be equipped with some of the optional equipment shown in the illustrations in this manual.
Montag Manufacturing urges the consumer to make safety the highest priority when using this machine. Do not attempt
is impaired.
This equipment is dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar with its operation. The operator should be a responsible
adult familiar with farm machinery and trained in this equipment's operations. Do not allow persons to operate or
assemble this unit until they have read this manual and have developed a thorough understanding of the safety
precautions and of how it works.
The safety information in this manual is denoted by the safety alert symbol:
This symbol means ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
The level of risk is indicated by the following signal words.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious
injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme situations typically for machine
components which, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, 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.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
Indicates a situation that could result in damage to the machine or other property.
2. Safety
11
2.2.1 KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE
Remove guards only for adjustment and maintenance, install immediately when task is completed. Do not operate meter
Severing hazard.
Rotating fans and shafts can sever digits.
Always keep all guards and shields in place.
2.2.2 STAY AWAY FROM ROTATING AUGERS
Severing hazard.
Rotating augers can sever digits.
Remove chain from auger drive sprocket before touching
metering augers.
2.2.3 KEEP RIDERS OFF EQUIPMENT
equipment at all times.
Crushing hazard.
Riders can fall from equipment, resulting in death or serious injury.
Never allow riders on the equipment.
Never climb on cart not attached to implement.
12
2.2.4 AVOID HOT PARTS
Burn hazard.
Do not touch hot hydraulic surfaces.
Do not work on hydraulic system when it is hot.
2.2.5 AVOID HIGH PRESSURE HYDRAULIC FLUID
Always relieve hydraulic system pressure before performing any work on the system. Use a piece of cardboard or paper,
not your hand, to check for leaks.
Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines.
Make sure hydraulic uid connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are
in good condition before applying pressure to the system. 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. DO NOT DELAY!
If an accident occurs, see a doctor familiar with this type of injury immediately Any
uid injected into the skin or eyes must be treated within a few hours or gangrene may
result.
2.2.6 AVOID FLYING OBJECT INJURIES
When fan is running, debris can be thrown from the air outlet, causing injury or possible loss of sight.
Projectile hazard.
Do not stand in front of air outlet while fan is operating.
2.2.7 AVOID LOSS OF CONTROL
Transporting cart at excessive speed can result in loss of cart control, causing death or serious injury.
Danger of loss of control when transporting cart.
13
Remove all product from tank before transporting on roads. With empty tanks, maximum
speed for cart on roads is 20 mph.
2.2.8 AVOID TIPPING CART
If stairs and platform are installed on rear of dry tank, cart can tip over if people climb on stairs with cart disconnected from
implement, resulting in death or serious injury.
Crushing hazard.
Do not climb on tank stairs or platform when cart is disconnected from implement.
2.2.9 CLEARANCE
Collision hazard.
Know the height, width and length of the equipment.
Always be aware of clearances.
2.2.10 MAINTENANCE
Crushing hazard.
Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor Maintenance is an invitation to trouble.
With careful inspection and routine maintenance, costly downtime and repairs can be
avoided.
Some parts and assemblies can be quite heavy. Before attempting to unfasten any part
or assembly, arrange to support it by means of a hoist, by blocking, or by use of an
adequate arrangement to keep it from falling, tipping, swinging, or moving in any manner
which may hurt somebody or damage the equipment.
Always use lifting equipment that is adequately rated to do the job. Never lift equipment
over people.
Be certain all moving parts on attachments have come to a complete stop before
attempting to perform maintenance.
14
Always use the proper tools or equipment for the job at hand.
After servicing, be sure all tools, parts, and service equipment are removed.
Before performing inspections, service or maintenance:
• Park the equipment on rm, level surface.
• Place tractor transmission in park, turn tractor engine o and remove ignition key.
• Verify service locks are properly engaged or lower tool bar and lower row units to
the ground or pavement.
2.2.11 HAZARDS FROM MODIFYING YOUR PARTICULATE METERING SYSTEM
Before making any alteration, contact your dealer or Montag Manufacturing and describe the alteration you are
contemplating. Altering may void the manufacturer’s warranty. Montag Manufacturing does not accept any liability for
injury or damage.
