Pre-Transport Checklist
Before transporting the cart, check and observe the
following items.
Monitor Material Configuration
The DICKEY-john
®
IntelliAg
®
monitor reads meter shaft
speeds and can report pounds-per-acre (or kg/ha)
planted. With the optional Variable Rate Kit, the monitor
can control material rates.
In order to report accurately, the monitor requires several
inputs. Inputs that rarely change were entered during
cart setup (see “Setup Seed Monitor for Air Drill” on
page 29). Inputs specific to particular materials (seed or
fertilizer) need to be entered when those materials are
first used, and when changed.
❑ Make sure the weight of the tractor equals or exceeds
the value specified for your air drill assembly in the
tables above or calculated from specifications. Be
sure to include hopper contents if materials are
pre-loaded, and markers. If weights are added to the
tractor or drill, or to reach the tractor-weight figure,
make sure the total assembly weight is still within the
rated capacity of the tractor.
❑ Lockout Drive Chain.
If the cart will be transported more than 15 miles, lock
out drive chain to avoid wear.
See “Drive Chain Lockout” on page 37.
❑ Auger Latches
Properly latch auger to cart and rear storage arm
before transporting.
See “Storing Auger” on page 40.
❑ Hopper Lids
Closed and secured.
See “Lid Closing” on page 33.
❑ Walkboard Ladder
Right side ladder mounted and pinned. Both ladder
lower sections raised and pinned.
See “Walkboard Ladders” on page 32.
❑ Transport Locks
Check that all implement transport locks are securely
in place.
❑ Tires
Check that all tires are properly inflated as listed on
“Tire Inflation Chart” on page 87.
❑ Bystanders
Check that no one is in the way before moving. Do not
allow any one to ride on the cart or implement.
❑ Warning Lights
Always use tractor, cart and implement warning lights
when transporting the air drill.
❑ Clearance
Know the maximum dimensions of the cart and
implement in transport position and follow a route that
provides adequate clearance from all obstructions,
including overhead lines.
See “Specifications and Capacities” on page 87.
❑ Stopping Distance
Allow sufficient stopping distance and reduce speed
prior to any turns or maneuvers. If the cart is
transported full, allow extra stopping distance.
❑ Road Rules
Comply with all national, regional and local laws when
transporting on public roads.
❑ Watch Traffic
The bins obstruct a portion of your rear view. Be
prepared for sudden maneuvers from following
vehicles.
