Electrocution Hazard:
To prevent serious injury or death from electric shock, keep
clear of overhead power lines when transporting, folding,
unfolding or operating drill components. Machine is not
grounded. At higher voltages, electrocution can occur without
direct contact.
Great Plains recommends transporting the drill without
seed loaded. Although designed for highway movement
with full seed boxes, the additional weight of seed may
cause the drill to exceed the rated towing and stopping
ability of the tractor, makes the drill more difficult to con-
trol and stop, and increases wear on tires and wheel
bearings.
Make sure the tractor weighs at least 2 ⁄
3
(67%) of the
drill, including any material load. Check the table at the
bottom of this page for weights of various configurations.
Loss of Control Hazard:
Towing the drill at high speeds or with a vehicle that is not
heavy enough can lead to loss of vehicle control. Loss of vehi-
cle control can lead to serious road accidents, injury and
death. To reduce the hazard:
▲ Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph).
▲ Do not tow a drill that weighs more than 1.5 times the
weight of the towing vehicle.
