General Operation
•DO NOT RIDE!! Do not allow riders on the
implement when in motion.
• Do not allow extra riders in the tractor unless an
instructor seat and seat belt are available.
•Check behind when backing up.
•Reduce speed when working in hilly terrain.
• Neverallowanyone withintheimmediate areawhen
operating machinery.
•Stand clear when raising or lowering wings.
•Keep all shields in place, replace them if removed
for service work.
• Always lock auger attachment in raised position.
• Keep hands clear of tank opening when closing lid.
Keep lid seal clean to ensure proper sealing.
•Do Not enter Air Cart tank unless
another person is present and the
tractorengine hasbeenshut off.
Tractor Operation
• Be aware of the correct tractor operating
procedures, when working with implements.
• Review tractor operator’s manual.
• Secure hitch pin with a retainer and lock drawbar
in centre position.

Safety
1-4 November 2008 Maxim II Air Drill
Chemicals
• Useextremecare whencleaning,fillingormaking
adjustments.
•Always read granular chemical or treated seed
manufacturer’s warning labels carefully and
remember them.
• Wearclosefittingclothing and appropriate personal
protective equipment for the job as specified by
the chemical and/or seed manufacturer.
•
Always wear safety goggles, breathing
apparatus and gloves when handling with granular
chemical or treated seed.
•Do not feed any treated seed to livestock. Treated
seed is poisonous and may cause harm to persons
or livestock.
•Wash exposed skin immediately - do not leave
chemicals on your skin.
•Properly store chemicalsinoriginal containers with
labels intact per the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Always follow the manufacturer’s operating
instructions and warning labels when operating an
ammonia tank with the equipment.
•Do Not enter Air Cart tank unless
another person is present and the
tractorengine hasbeenshut off.
Danger
Failure to comply may result in death or serious injury.
Read Operator’s Manual and decals on Ammonia tank before operating Air Cart.
Become familiar with all warnings, instructions, and controls.
Always wear gloves and goggles when transferring or handling ammonia.
Always stay clear of hose and valve openings.
Always be sure pressure is relieved before disconnecting hoses or parts.
Always secure connecting parts and safety chains before towing ammonia trailer.
Always have ample water available in case of exposure to ammonia liquid or gases.

Safety
Maxim II Air Drill November 2008 1-5
Transporting
•Be aware of the height, length and width of
implement. Make turns carefully and be aware of
obstacles and overhead electrical lines.
• Always travel at a safe speed. Do Not Exceed 20
M.P.H. (32 kph) with an empty air cart.
•REDUCE SPEED with material in Air Cart tanks.
Do Not Exceed a speed of 10 M.P.H. (16 kph).
• Use an agricultural tractor that is large enough with
sufficient braking capacity so that the weight of
the loaded equipment towed does not exceed 1.5
times the weight of the tractor.
• Use flashing amber warning lights, turn signals and
SMV emblems when on public roads.
• Do not transport in poor visibility.
• The slow moving vehicle (SMV) emblem and
reflectors must be secured and be visible on the
machine for transport.
• Avoid soft surfaces, the additional wing weight on
the centre wheels could cause the machine to sink.
• Ensure safety chain is attached correctly to the
towing vehicle and the hitch of the implement.
• Check that wings are firmly seated in transport
wing stops, and lock pins installed.
• Secure transport locks on depth control cylinders.
• Be familiar with and adhere to local laws.
Hydraulics
•Do not search for high pressure hydraulic leaks
without hand and face protection. A tiny, almost
invisible leak can penetrate skin, thereby requiring
immediate medical attention.
• Use cardboard or wood to detect leaks - never your
hands.
• Double check that all is clear before operating
hydraulics.
•Never remove hydraulic hoses or ends with
machine elevated. Relieve hydraulic pressure
before disconnecting hydraulic hoses or ends.
• Maintain proper hydraulic fluid levels.
• Keep all connectors clean for positive connections.
• Ensure all fittings and hoses are in good condition.
• Do not stand under wings.

Safety
1-6 November 2008 Maxim II Air Drill
Caution
Care should be taken when
working near the Air Cart
while the fan is running.
Product blowing out of the
system could cause
personal injury.
Caution
Keep service area
clean and dry. Wet or
oily floors are
slippery. Wet spots
can be dangerous
when working with
electrical equipment.
Maintenance
•Shut tractor engine off before making any
adjustments or lubricating the machine.
•Block machine securely to prevent any movement
during servicing.
• Wearclosefittingclothing and appropriate personal
protective equipment for the job.
•Always wear safety goggles, breathing apparatus
and gloves when working on seeder filled with
granular chemical or treated seed per the
manufacture’s instructions.
• Do not modify the machine.
Storage
• Store implement away from areas of main activity.
• Level implement and block up securely to relieve
pressure on jack.
• Do not allow children to play on or around stored
implement.
