procedures which, if not strictly
observed could result in damage to, or
destruction of the machine, process or
its surroundings.
NOTE: Indicates points of particular interest for more
efcient and convenient repair or operation.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not
avoided, will result in DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
DANGER

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.
• Never allow anyone within the immediate area when
operating machinery.
• Stand clear when raising or lowering wings.
• Keep all shields in place, replace them if removed
for service work.
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 January 2019
Chemicals
• Use extreme care when cleaning, filling or
making adjustments.
• Always read granular chemical or treated seed
manufacturer’s warning labels carefully and
remember them.
• Wear close tting clothing and appropriate personal
protective equipment for the job as specied 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 chemicals in original 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
tractor engine has been shut 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
January 2019 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
mph (32 kph).
• Use an agricultural tractor that is large enough with
sufcient braking capacity so that the weight of the
loaded equipment towed does not exceed 1.5 times
the weight of the tractor.
• Use ashing 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
reectors 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 rmly seated on transport wing
stops, and wing lift valve and opener valve are in
locked postion.
• 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 uid levels.
• Keep all connectors clean for positive connections.
• Ensure all ttings and hoses are in good condition.
• Do not stand under wings.

Safety
1-6 January 2019
Maintenance
• Shut tractor engine off before making any
adjustments or lubricating the machine.
• Block machine securely to prevent any movement
during servicing.
• Wear close tting clothing and appropriate personal
protective equipment for the job.
• Always wear safety goggles, breathing apparatus
and gloves when working on seeder lled 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.
Caution
Keep service area clean
and dry. Wet or oily
floors are slippery.
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.

Warning: Crushing Hazard
To prevent serious injury or death:
• Stand Clear - openers move rapidly under hydraulic
pressure.
• Stand Clear - Openers drop with full down force when
powering up or rebooting controller with hydraulics
engaged.
• Before servicing hydraulics - Lower openers to
ground and relieve pressure from hydraulic system.
• Shut tractor off and remove key before servicing or
adjusting depth.
• Place “Openers” valve in locked position before
adjusting depth or servicing.
Danger: Crushing Hazard
To prevent death or serious injury:
• Wings may fall rapidly causing bodily injury.
• Stand Clear - Of Wings when being raised, lowered
or in elevated state.
• Always install all Lockup devices provided when
wings are in elevated position.
• Ensure Cylinders are completely lled with hydraulic
uid to avoid unexpected movement.
Warning: Before Servicing
To prevent serious injury or death:
• Stop the tractor and remove key, read the service
specications at the back of this manual.
